Moose135 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 It was a bit of an air show at CLT today. First, we had a C-17 from the Mississippi ANG depart - they arrived late Saturday afternoon and spent the night. The NC ANG wing at Charlotte will be transitioning to C-17s later this year, so this will be a more familiar sight. Next up was a 4-ship of T-38s out of the 1st Fighter Wing at Langley. They dropped in for a gas and go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan Hothersall Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 We had a National Cargo 747-400 come to little old Adelaide today. Froze my backside off though. My understanding it's bringing parts for a battery array that will hopefully stop the big state wide blackout we had on September 28 last year happening again. I won't go into what I think of this battery idea though. National747-428BCF-N952CA-3 by Ryan Hothersall, on Flickr Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What airport? We used to go into McCarran (Vegas) all the time :) . Occasionally up to Reno . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Lequerica Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 That would be Reno. I could never figure out why they would show up at Reno with Travis or Fallon being close by. But it's really cool catching something different once an while. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spectre711 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Saw a lone F-22 fly over the house today heading south east. All ways happens when I'm doing yard work and never have a camera handy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eraucubsfan Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 A few from a Navy base in southern Maryland where technically I am not supposed to be taking pictures... Sorry about the quality, they are taken with my phone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We'd hit Reno for our "randoms" now and then...we moved the birds around to different locations for various reasons and it gives you a break from the alert. Nellis is preferred! But if Red Flag is happening it's tough to get in and out of there if you need to. We'd avoid Fallon because Navy bases suck at handling "heavies", takes forever to fuel! Travis is the normal west coast alert site, it gets socked in with fog pretty good from time to time so the back up is Edwards AFB.

Patnab Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Hello friends,This afternoon I went on a two-hour trip with my Jeep. Of course, before going home, I made a stop at Mulhouse-Habsheim, our local airfield. Today I saw this: A Piper PA 18 Super Cub, a Jodel Mousquetaire and a Cessna : And this shining Beech 18 : Have a nice day ! Patrick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moose135 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Haven't been out to CLT much the past month or so, but I took a ride down Friday afternoon to catch this Russian beast. We were camped out at the overlook next to 18C when he came in...on 18L. Another day, another Antonov. We had another An-124 arrive after sunset on Sunday, and I caught some shots as it was leaving on Monday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
parche Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Unfortunately no camera on me and only a long distance shot on my cell phone, but I saw a four-ship of Super Hornets heading past Nationals Stadium towards Arlington National Cemetery. I assume they broke into "missing man" for a burial. There were certainly sounds of maneuvering. It was around 1400. Also saw a couple HMX-1 VH-60s around the National Mall as I wandered around.

K2Pete Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 The USS Little Rock had spent the last 2 weeks in Buffalo New York being commissioned beside its World War 2 namesake. In order to get to its home base in Florida, it had to pass through the Welland Canal, near Niagara Falls. (I hope the images show up ... Fotki doesn't seem too consistent.)

parche Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 (edited) May just be a rule for the locks. Or the never-ending mechanical failures of the class... I could make comments about the collosal waste of money they are, but I won't. I had the joy of seeing an A380 and multiple 747s (cargo type) at LAX and then a Qantas 747 at HNL. I love 747s. Took crappy pictures on my phone, not worth posting. Dave Edited January 2, 2018 by parche Spelling error Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moose135 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Thanks to the storm the folks along the East Coast are enjoying, we got a few interesting diversions into CLT today. AA Flight 67 from Barcelona to JFK, scheduled into JFK around 12:30pm, diverted down to CLT. We don't get many 777s in town, so it was a sight to see. US Coast Guard HC-130J out of Elizabeth City, NC not far from the Outer Banks, escaping the storm. Not sure if this was storm related or not, it's a Lockheed L-100, civilian version of the C-130 transport. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
