F4DPhan Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Dave, Great pix! East Coast weather certainly cooperating for your photos and their return! Nice to see SHARP pods on a couple of the Bones; anyone have any idea about the centerline store on 210? Looks like a guidance pod... Keep the images coming Dave! Cheers, Mike Link to post Share on other sites
raptor22 Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 What's that underneath on the centerline? That a bomb or a travel pod? or something? Link to post Share on other sites
Fuji Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 What's that underneath on the centerline? That a bomb or a travel pod? or something? That looks like a guidance pod, possibly an AAW-13. Interestingly, if it is, that pod is usually associated with the AGM-84K SLAM-ER and the Super Hornet isn't cleared to carry that missile yet. Link to post Share on other sites

GreyGhost Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Is it common for that many jets to "fly off" the carrier with ordinance ? I've seen tanks, pods and racks before but this seems like more weapons than usual ... Gregg Link to post Share on other sites

Gregg Gregg, the weapon is a CATM. Most squadron take training missiles on cruise with them and the easiest way to get them there and back is to fly them. The MERs are usually for Mk.76s and LGTRs only. Link to post Share on other sites
Brian P: Fightertown Decals Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Would I be letting the cat out of the bag if I said that I promised Brian Marbrey that Fightertown Decals would put out the previously announced VFDecals VFA-103 combat cruise decals? oops, I think I just did ;) Ok, all the Superhornet and jolly rogers haters can let me have it now... :) -brian Link to post Share on other sites

VFA-103guy Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Hi Dave- I did manage to make it to the fly in. I was standing next to Liza when the jets came in and we were wondering where you where. :lol: Anyway, here's a few of my pics. Sorry they are so grainy. I didn't have my camera's dpi and apeture settings set like I should have. Like an idot, I didn't check before I shot. Enjoy.. Link to post Share on other sites
Sig Saur & Son Posted May 27, 2007 Author Share Posted May 27, 2007 Brian, you have to pre-flight your camera before every shoot. Fresh batteries, all setting corectly set. Do you need me to send you a checklist? Cheers, Dave Link to post Share on other sites

Nice pics Brian! As for the graininess, my guess is that your ISO setting is too high. Usually I shoot at ISO 100 outdoors on a sunny day-- maybe ISO 200-400 on a cloudy overcast day and ISO 800 in an indoor, low-light environment. oh crap, I still need to pay you for those two Tomcat kits! call me at home... my cell phone "malfunctioned" during my trip to Chicago... ;) Link to post Share on other sites
