Winnie Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Yesterday, on I-80 Just west of Omaha, an F-105D VERY low level... It was on a plinth but really well placed! Also 2 days ago, just north of the Iowa border on I-35, 3 T-38A's on plinths, in Thunderbirds livery, at what seemed to be a storage place, really surprised me...

Moose135 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Took a ride out to CLT after work Friday and caught some interesting visitors. C-130H of the Ohio ANG Miami Air 738 A pair of T-1A Jayhawk trainers out of Columbus AFB. A hundred years ago, long before the Jayhawk was around, I flew Tweets and Talons out of Columbus.

hawkwrench Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 (edited) I was having a picnic with my family yesterday when I heard a jet fly over. The park where we were at is near Lunken Airport. Naturally I looked up and yes! There flying overhead was an A-10. Never seen one of them flying before. Man, those engines sounded cool when it flew over!

11bee Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Great pics as usual Moose. I'm passing through CLT today, good to see there is some variation out there. Typically, you only see a billion AA Airbuses / CRJ's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Charlie D. Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Saturday, while driving South on 101, saw a Huey and Cobra flying north parallel to the highway, fairly low at that in Sonoma county. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A-10 LOADER Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 This was taken, using my phone, last Sunday @ 11:50 am EST. I was heading from the garage to the house when I spotted these guys coming out of the SW and heading NE and moving fast. I ran inside and grabbed my binoculars to get a better look. There were two contrails coming from each jet, I'm pretty sure they were F-15's and not F/A-18's but, they were really high up, hard to tell. I thought it was a pretty cool sight. This is them heading NE. Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
11bee Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Wasn't able to get a picture of it but while passing through Charlotte, I saw a very grubby American Eagle CR7 taxi by. What made it noteworthy was it being in full US Air markings. Haven't seen anything painted up in those markings for ages.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
john53 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Last week it was a B-25 and an HH60J. The B-25 must have been at an airshow, it was Panchito and the Jayhawk was from USCG Air Station at Clearwater-St Pete here in Fl. Monday it was an Osprey but I didn't get to my camera in time :(---John B-25 Panchito 4-6-2017 Largo Fl 2 by jvandeu53, on Flickr HH60J Jayhawk 4-17-17 4 by jvandeu53, on Flickr Quote Link to post Share on other sites

All of the mainline legacy US Airways jets have been repainted, but there are still about 40 or 50 (out of 260 or so) regional jets still in US Express colors. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moose135 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) We had an Evelop Airlines A330-300 come in to CLT on Thursday night. They are a Spanish charter airline, and were bringing a plane load of State Farm Insurance employees back from a trip to Stockholm, Sweden.

Moose135 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Had an old friend do the fly over at the NASCAR race last Sunday at Pocono. It's a KC-135 from the NJ ANG, which was recently painted in NATO Tiger Meet markings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winnie Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 On Wednesday I saw a Nasa DC-8-62 ASL come up over my base at 30.000' and then start a wide circle and descending down to about sea level in 15 minutes, then do a low and over then depart back to Fairbanks, AK. This happened in Cambridge Bay Nunavut, Canada. Apparently they are looking at the magnetic pole movements. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moose135 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 As I was about to leave work today, I checked the CLT spotters FB page, and saw an alert that a Qatar 777 was diverting due to weather in ATL. Of course I ran down to the airport. It had already landed when I got there. The ended up parking it on the south cargo ramp, something they don't often do, but I thing the main ramp must have been busy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
