May haps Aircraft?

Thanks, I didn't get to take it though. It does show the wing root joint reflected in most kits, that is very prominent. finally a wing root joint you don't have to fill with puddy!

The video of the BUFF build in fascinating. But I can't help but wonder what was the motivation on the part of the kit make for including ACES II seats in the kit VS the Webber seats the BUFF actually flew with. 20 years ago I can I sympathies with a vender for not having the right seats, but today there is an abundance of information available. Incredibly the downward seats are reasonable accurate. As you can see they look nowhere near the ACES II seat.... The upward seats have a rail the seat travels along as it exits out the top of the BUFF. The seats don't get p

Not sure if this helps or not... Shot was taken by an EC-47/cargo pilot, Lee Croissant.

Need to put on my glasses when I edit shots!

A bird from the past. I was stationed at Taegu ROK flying Dustoff in 77/78. Took a hop over to Japan for a couple of weeks and was there for the 4th of July celebration. One of the 8TFW birds came over from Taegu and was on display, complete with LORAN towel rack and Jammer pod. The bird was transferred to the ROK.

Send me your email on a privateer message and I'll sent a High Rez shot of the Super bomber.... the TIf is 45M, but the JPG is only 10M. the shot I posted is really cleaned up though, the original is in horrible condition... Bryan

If you want to do the Prototype you get to do the scalloped intakes along with the NACA scoops on the nose and the McD Stanely seat. the Marine Corps Museum at Quantico had an F-4H, but did not think it was a "historically significant" AC and gave it to the airfield fire dept.... I think it had the McD/Stanley seat in the front...

And finally, a rather non-descript looking bird, with an interesting flash on the backend. I'm guessing Kelly, looks to be a bit high for Bergstrom...

RF-4C 64-1034 ABANG Birmingham 06-29-91 w mission marks from Desert Strom With the flight shot I handed my Nikon F2A w motor drive and a 43-86mm lens to a back seater and told him to shoot the roll of Kodachrome 64. Set the camera up for what I thought it would need on exposure and prayed... Doing that was likely strictly against regs, but they were agreeable as they launched a 2 shop. Photo bird was 033, shown landing below. Some of the shots are pretty good. Note the last three of the SN on the nose gear door. some of the birds had color wing flashes,

A suggestion for an RF-4C, RF-4C 117TRW ALANG 65-854

Thanks for the kind word! If you're going to do an F4H-1, do the H4H-1! McD and Stanley Aviation teamed up and equipped the first 10 airframes with this seat. I have high resolution shots of each of the F4H-1 shots below, 10 - 14 MB each... I got them from the folks at China Lake. I'm trying to talk myself into doing the Cutting Edge conversion..... The grey seat in the center of the display was a proposal by Stanley for the F4H-1/F-110/F-4. Shot at the Stanley factory in 1986. ''

For "other" Edwards bird.... I was at Edwards on a liaison flight in 1979 when I was flying at Ft Irwin , now NTC, and while in the snack bar I saw an F-15 taxiing by. I opened the window and took a shot. From the looks on everyone's faces in the snack bar I could tell the y were not fans of this type of activity.... Unfortunately I only had a 43-86 zoom on the camera... No 1 F-15C

When I went through the back hanger of the Museum in Jan 1991, I shot the bird. It was in a real horrible corner..... the canards and mounts don't look like they would be all that difficult to make... Bryan

That would be great to see! Hopefully there is a market for F-106B's... I suspect the remainder of the birds are sitting at the bottom of the Gulf... Bryan

Droning right along... The following shots a from Tyndall AFB 2-28-91. I was going through the CH-47D transition at Rucker and hit the Panhandle airfields. As I understand it, F-106A-31 57-2513 escaped a watery grave and is now preserved. re

And USAF went absolutely ballistic... The pilots associated with the G-91 referred to it as a "GO-91". they also looked at the kestrel, one is in the museum at Ft Rucker. the Army was also flying two F-10's and an AD-3 circa 1981. I have shots of the F-10's, one red & white, the other blue. USAF forced the issue with the Armed OV-1's, demanding the USA disarm them. And suppressed the fact that an OV-1 pilot got a MiG kill.

Appreciate the info, and the shot. best shot I've seen of the underside of the wing. Bryan

Those Edwards test Phantoms are already on a Caracal sheet. https://www.caracalmodels.com/cd48162.html But the 319 is in black, not white....

Flight test F-4E's The attached shot is from Edwards, 3 1980. The birds, as I understand it, were used for the Cruise missile chase AC. I shot this on approach to the ramp, flying with my knees in an OH-58A. I've always found it interesting the impact on stencil color to the overall look. The NF-4E in the background looks to have stencils in black. 1966 USAF Serial Numbers (joebaugher.com) 66-0294 F-4E-31-MC (MSN 2389) flew with Thunderbirds. 1975: USAF 20th TFTS (35th TFW). 1976-77: USAF 35th TFW. Converted to NF-4E. 1978-91: AFFTC. 6512th Test Squad

I ran across this shot a few years ago, perhaps a bit better without all the Photobucket garbage....

Mile High Militia Falcon coming home to roost... I shot these off the S end of the runway at Buckley. Canon R5 600 f4 w 1.4x extender, for 800mm 1/8000 f6.3 ISO1000. There is a fair amount of variation in the tail markings. the tail ma rkings.

This one was buzzing about the neighborhood yesterday, no doubt out of Ft Carson...

The Crane was an interesting bird. Had the same external load capacity of the CH-47D, but the hook could go down 125'. These cockpit shots are from an AL NG bird I shoot at Birmingham. I was going through the CH-47D transition and decided to go to Birmingham to shoot the RE-4C's of the ALANG. In Viet Nam only the most experienced pilots were allowed to fly the Carne. That might have been its downfall. In the 70's the bird was retired from Active service, but it was specified that while the NG got the aircraft all spares were to be sent to the scrap yards. It was

Dupe post, sorry!
