siesta3 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I read somewhere that the CJs at SPANG are using the full blown Sniper/HTS package and here's the first picture I seen of some of them. Here's a picture as they are leaving for Nellis. Notice the travel pod for the 52FW .. anyone know if that is actually the CC or another commander? Link to post Share on other sites
Aggressor Supporter Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Neat pic. First time I've seen a red travel pod, I guess the perks of being the commander. Link to post Share on other sites
pablo189 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Nice pic. Check out the difference in colour and degrees of weathering on the radomes and v-stabs... Gary Link to post Share on other sites
tomastewart Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 I have a bunch of pix of them back in April carrying L side HTS and LITENING on the R side cheek....neat loadout. To a markings guy, even cooler is the new blue crew names in the 23rd. I can't read the travel pod, but it looks like the 22nd COs. Can we get to see one or two of these pix?

jmel Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 I can't read the travel pod, but it looks like the 22nd COs. You are correct. That is the same pod he had when he came through here last year. Jake Link to post Share on other sites

They now carry the HTS on the right and Litening (may be Snipoer later) on the left intake hardpoint. Cheers Christian Link to post Share on other sites

R7 is a change to the actual HTS pod, introducing a few improvements. The pod is physically different in appearance, as well. Jake Link to post Share on other sites

Henrik Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Hello all, The combo seen on these SP Vipers are actually Sniper/ASQ-213 - only 91-0343 and 91-0402 are carrying AAQ-14s and no HTS. Greetings, Henrik. Link to post Share on other sites

godhika Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Hi Guys, I need your opinion.Since I want to modell the COs plane, I am debatting wether the fin is partially gunship grey (which would add a nice touch to the model) or if this is just a shadow? Oh yeah Scott, it would be great if you could add the decals for the travelling pod in your upcoming Spang-sheet! Link to post Share on other sites

Wannes Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 .Since I want to modell the COs plane, I am debatting wether the fin is partially gunship grey (which would add a nice touch to the model) or if this is just a shadow? It's certainly a shadow. I've got pics of this bird from Spang's Open Day 2006 (July 1st) - no dark grey . It still had the HTS on the right side then, BTW. Link to post Share on other sites
