phantom Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Went to the worlds smallest airshow, CFB Borden. 2 Hornets,a CH-146, a Harvard, Tiger Moth a Spitfire (which I had to miss ) a couple civi things and the Snowbirds. Ground displays were nice mind you. Lots of torn up Tutors, T-33's another Hornet 188707 and the front of 188914, and Labs 11308 and 11310. Never bring 3 girls to an airshow when they want to go shopping on the ride home. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

flemister60 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 It was yesterday, but thats niether here nor there. 7 F-16C's, three landing and four taking off. A Evergreen cargo 747, a ROKAF C-130, a C-135 way down the ramp, and last but certainly not least, a U-2 taking off. No pics, as the location I was at doesn't like cameras very much.

gearheadrandy Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Heard the clatter of radial engines a few days ago, and looked up to see a Ford Trimotor puttering around over Cincinnati. Turns out it was giving joyrides out of Lunken Field. If I'd known I might have bought one for myself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PNW_Modeler Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 This afternoon I went into the backyard to turn on the sprinkler for the kid to run through and heard a loud jet go overhead. We are not too far from Boeing's Everett plant, so it isn't that uncommon to see and see some of the big guys flying over pretty low. I look up to see what it is, and I see the very distinct outline of an EA-6B Prowler. Must have been heading home to Whidbey. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Steve N Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 The Thunderbirds arrived in town today for this weekend's airshow. We moved into a home not far from the airport last fall..during today's practice session the F-16s buzzed our house at less than 500 feet several times! There was also an F-15/P-51 Heritage Flight buzzing about, as well as an F-18/T-2 Buckeye formation. SN Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David Walker Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 The Collings Foundation have their planes in northern Colorado this weekend. The B-24 and P-51 flew over my house a while back and later both the B-17 and the B-24 flew over me as I was walking into the grocery store. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
El Camino Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Saw a C-5M sporting a instrument probe like the one in this photo. Also saw a "pink" (Pirmered) F-22 fresh off of Lockheed-Martin's assembly line. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
martin_sam_2000 Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Yesterday I had a pretty good show here as we had a few visitors for the 4th of July fly by at the ambassador's house: then a few of ours: and then together: all in all a once in a blue moon(if not a once in a lifetime) even for me!!! Sean ***just one last one of the three CF-188's on our ramp :lol: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GoBlue96 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Saw a C-5M sporting a instrument probe like the one in this photo. Also saw a "pink" (Pirmered) F-22 fresh off of Lockheed-Martin's assembly line. You may already know this, but the C-5 you saw was one of the birds participating in the RERP program, getting new engines and other systems (hence the "M" designation, which probaby stands for "modernized", though I'm not sure this will be an official model number after the aircraft are returned to the Air Force or not). It's really bizarre to hear them after the new engines are installed, they sound nothing like C-5s used to. And not to call GA.modelmaker's aircraft spotting abilities into question or anything, but I suspect that he may have seen a C-5M when he posted back on the third, not a C-141. I am not aware of any C-141 flying, and certainly not any flying with a nose boom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Only when I looked on Airliners.net, did I realize what I saw. It did sound alot quieter than I remembered. I used to see them all the time on approach to Dobbins and they had that distinct sound thats kinda like metal grinding up against something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
braincells37 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Actually, I saw this one yesterday, on final into PAE, Everett, WA. It's the 747 Dreamlifter, the official parts carrier for the new 787. Terry :lol: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
