Moose135 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Had this old 727 freighter drop into CLT this afternoon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
11bee Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Nice pic Moose. I miss those old jets, both watching them come and go from Logan up here in Boston and flying in them. I remember as a kid hanging out at a good vantage point on hot, humid summer days and watching those 727's struggling to get airborne. Between the noise and the smoke, it was pretty cool stuff. Not the same today with all those clean, quiet 737's and Airbuses. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AX 365 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Didn't see it today and I have no photos but while I was catching some rays by the pool at our timeshare on 03 February I saw the Collings Foundation's B-17 and B-24 over the Gulf heading form Fort Myers to Naples last week. I heard the rumble of the engines though the ear buds that were playing some Joe Satriani from the eye-pod. Very impressive sight indeed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moose135 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 National Airlines 757 at Charlotte today. I heard it's a charter for NASCAR crews heading to the Phoenix race this weekend. Also caught N702UW, the latest US Airways A319 to get new AA colors. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GreyGhost Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Cool pics, Moose! So, that National Airlines has nothing to do with this National Airlines, right? >>> Clicky <<< -Gregg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dylan Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 that is a great looking 757 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moose135 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Thanks, guys! No, Gregg, this National is not connected to the old National. They were bought by Pan Am in 1980 and the current airline began operations about 6 years later as a small cargo carrier. They have a couple of 747 freighters - it was one of their aircraft that went down at Bagram last year, and they have a pair of 757s in passenger configuration for charter work.

worldslaziestbusker Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Nice photos from point cook. Thanks. I'll give most of the credit to the RAAF, who ran the show really well. RAAF Williams lies at the end of a long, narrow road, but they put on heaps of public transport and nulled the traffic problems I was part of at the 75th anniversary show there in the late 80s. They arranged the displays such that no bottlenecks could build up pedestrian traffic and let everyone get good and close to the airframes. Lots of happy punters. Many first sightings, for me: Tiger, MRH-90, Gloster Meteor on the wing (sounds like a car being pushed through the air) and the F-35 mock up. The F-18A landed on the 4500' runway, which I think is a fair effort. Got the kids a tour through the Catalina, too. A good time was had by all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tdogg Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Some shots from Saturday, finally had some nice sunshine, mixed with the snow on the ground made for some great lighting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moose135 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Spending the weekend in Atlanta, and found some time for spotting... ;) While it's mostly Delta stuff, there are a few other goodies to be seen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aussie_superbug Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Whilst not today... Here are some from 100 yrs of military aviation show at Point Cook last weekend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
82Whitey51 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Nice shot of the P-3 with engine 4 shut down. Though...I'd never loiter 4 for demo purposes...you just put yourself a generator down (#1 eng doesn't have one, unless AP-3Cs are wired differently.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aussie_superbug Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) Nice shot of the P-3 with engine 4 shut down. Though...I'd never loiter 4 for demo purposes...you just put yourself a generator down (#1 eng doesn't have one, unless AP-3Cs are wired differently.) Thanks Andrew, The day I ( Saturday ) went was really overcast so to good shots was trying to say the least. Usually they would switch off No.1, for demo's seen it quite often done. so I really cant explain the reasoning for 4 being shutdown Edited March 10, 2014 by Aussie_superbug Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AussieTim Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Today I saw a RAAF Wedgetail inbound to RAAF Base Edinburgh. Didn't get the tail number and no pics I'm afraid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moose135 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 This CH-47D arrived at Republic Airport (KFRG) a few days ago, reportedly with "engine issues". They were nice enough to stick around so I could get into town and shoot it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
