Yeah the C-5 was still up there, thanks for the link that is one good lookin prowler!

I was driving around NAS Whidbey today and parked in front of vaq-133's building I saw a 3 stage desert camo paint job on one of the prowlers. Does anyone have a pic of this plane? I wanted to stop and take a look but pulling the delivery truck over and trying to take a picture of the flightline probably wouldnt be the best idea.By far the best looking Prowler I have ever seen.

Whats with these guys? Throwing a twin tail onto single tail designs doesnt give you twice the performance. That is an urban legend just like pop rocks and Pepsi.

A precision strike against looters? :)

Check it out Iceman

Without a backseater who would a pilot team up with to play beach volleyball against his archnemisis? And have your back in situations like this?

Isnt the prowler kinda like the family truckster from "vacation"?

Love the samurai on the tail. Thanks for the pic.

Oh geez you had to reference washington law enforcement and their fine track record on high speed pursuits didnt ya?

The military channel has shows like that on quite a bit.

Good news, I didnt know there were 356 still in the inventory.

I think we hit every requirement for a banned thread, we have Rhino vs Tomcat, mention of a tweet, a Cobra manuver and let me put the capper on it by mentioning the word "flaps"

The usual on the island at work, P-3s, Prowlers, a herc and an out of the ordinary C-17 with McChord tail markings came in.

Ok we sent an F-15 over for the show how about a little love Russia? An Su-27 stateside at an airshow would be nice huh?

Yes, when they had their big military exercises awhile ago they showed phantoms flying. I read once that when the Shah bought the phantoms he also ordered an unbelievable amount of spare parts for the number of planes purchased, whether this is true or not I have no idea.

Interesting, Waco get us some pics when they come over. Click

That one was just regular old 747, its being painted right now.

Yep the comet is still out there.

I went out after work a few weeks ago and took some shots of that ol B-52, it sounds like it is a dead project at this point. Paul Allen is building a new museum right where its parked and is insisting that it be moved out of sight from his pretty new place The museum of flight has nowhere/ no money to restore it and when/if they ever do they have no way to get it down to seattle. Kinda sad, I wish Paul Allen would step in and fix it up park out in front of his place but doesnt sound like thats gonna happen.

This one?

Two of them were thunderbolts two were bold tigers. Heres one of the Bold Tigers

Does anyone know why the ground crew goes onto the wings and kinda bounce up and down as part of the preflight?

Got up on the deck today for some better pics, dont be too critical I am using an old canon powershot

These guys dropped into Everett today for Seafair. I wanted to get some better pics from the Boeing Future of Flight observation deck but it was closed so climbing a light pole to get the fence out of the pic is as good as it gets
