ST0RM Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Nice pics of the EA-18 line. Next weekend, two Gs are due to stop over here for gas. So hopefully I'll get shots of my first Growler. Yep, I said it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VFA-103guy Posted July 11, 2010 Author Share Posted July 11, 2010 This Dog will Hunt! -JS Great shot Jeff! Did you notice on both 143's and 103's jets the lack of the goofy gas config? Got some cool shots from the squadron a few weeks ago and it just looked weird to see one gas tank and 2 weapons pylons loaded, (one with a GBU-12 and the other with a GBU-38).

MKopack Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Probably not any good for reference, but here are a couple of G shots I was pretty happy with from MCAS Cherry Point this spring. Mike Kopack Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ST0RM Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Excellent work with the light Mike! Brian -- Yeah, the move away from the assymetrical aux tank load started last summer. I kind of liked seeing the different config. Call me goofy. With McCrystal's RoEs, they weren't dropping much anymore, so they cut back on the wep load. -103 had a replacement jet from an older Lot. BuNo. 166453, and it did not have the latest ECS vents, etc. Odd. Thanks Gregg. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

J.Stone Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Saw a Test Pilot School Super for the first time yesterday at Chamber's Field during the VRC-40 50th Anniversary celebrations. It was a hot, hot day so there's a lot of heat haze in this shot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GreyGhost Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Yeah, nice photo, Jeff ... Here's to hoping they one day make 'em the all white like the Legacy Birds ... I know some complain about it but to me, the weather conditions of a shot are as much a part of that moment as the aircraft is ... Gregg Quote Link to post Share on other sites

J.Stone Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 (edited) Yeah, nice photo, Jeff ... Gregg Thanks guys. Not too bad of a day for an event even though it was crazy hot. Just happy I wasn't working on paving like the guys in the background. Ended up getting a nice, privately-owned C-1, several C-2's, an MH-53, SH-60, MV-22, multiple E-2's at Norfolk and, of course, tons of Hornets like Dave's above. In fact, it looks like he might have been hanging around Oceana yesterday, too. Edited July 17, 2010 by J.Stone Quote Link to post Share on other sites
