The_Animal Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Nice shots, Phantom. I need to hang outside the parking lot for a bit. So far I haven't been outside, but I've heard 2 A310s, and a Dash 8. Just perfecting my hearing on the different types of a/c. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AX 365 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 You lucky stiff, Shawn! We were supposed to have a Classic Air Rallye at the Canada Aviation Museum this weekend. Unfortunately, I got screwed over by the weather and having to work midnights (I just woke up 1/2 hour ago). I think I'm off when VWoC has their 'Open House' in September. On the plus side, I did have lunch with 9 Sabre pilots yesterday afternoon out at the Hylands Golf Course. You talk about some interesting stories! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Satelliteman Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Coming home tonight we took the back road. We see a guy standing in the road. Something is behind him, we get closer & see a hot air balloon sitting by the side of the road. Of course I did not have a camera...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AX 365 Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 A sampling from the Vintage Wings of Canada Open House. I snapped over 800 shots. A few of which turned out. I met up with martin_sam_2000 and he said he snapped over 1,000. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Felinoid Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 At the Fly-In in Simsbury, CT (mostly private planes and an old car show) on Sunday, we got buzzed a few times by an L-39 Albetros (Czech-built airmed trainer). Quite low, and slow, we got a good look at him, with huge red stars on the wings. We heard a few people think it was "some kinda' MiG!". I kept my mouth shut, don't want to look like a k-i-a.

Bulldog 09 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 (edited) Saw the shuttle yesterday. It was diverted to JRB Carswell due to weather. We were working on the T-line when the tower notified us that the shuttle was inbound, next thing we knew there it was. Talk about front row seats we were about 300 yards out when he touched down. Sorry about the picture quality, it was taken with a cell phone. This was taken by my friend Jack who is smart enough to carry a camera with him at all times.

Mumbles Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 (edited) Caught a contrailing C-17 heading south over Wellington, New Zealand, on Sunday. Pretty rare thing to see in my neck of the woods They come down here to support the US Antarctic forward base (Operation Deep Freeze) at Christchurch International, and head down to the ice themselves in support of Antarctic operations.
