82Whitey51 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) Owner Jack Roush's Beechcraft Premier. This is a replacement for the Premier he crashed at Oshkosh several years ago. Note the reference to the 357TH Fighter Group on the intake cowling...hope he's not flying it. Edited August 27, 2015 by 82Whitey51 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moose135 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I don't know that Roush flies the Premier anymore, but he does still fly his P-51, Old Crow. The markings on the jet match the markings on the Mustang. He flies it out of Concord enough, I need to get some shots of that one of these days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moose135 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 We had an IL-76 drop into CLT today. An AA A330 ferrying from Europe to CLT diverted to Newfoundland the other day with an engine problem. The -76 picked up a replacement engine and associated equipment for the engine change. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Great shots Moose, I was just about to post a inquiry on the LLyushins presence there as I spotted it as we taxied by during my layover there yesterday morning from Miami. I'm assuming it flew in for the weekend? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

beingthehero Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I am at least 90% positive I saw a C-17 today flying near Landover Metro Station in Maryland, on my way home from work today. I figured it was heading towards Reagan or Dulles. It was unexpected, to say the least. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moose135 Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 We had another Russian Beast visit CLT today - an Antonov An-124 dropped in to pick up a hydro-electric turbine from Siemens and fly it to Saudi Arabia. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jminer Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Was at work today and saw this guy fly over on it's way in to KGRB. Went out at lunch at snapped a couple of photos of it parked at one of the FBOs. Coincidentally enough, as I'm typing this, I just saw another one fly in to land. Not sure why they're here, but it's nice to see some interesting aircraft. This one (and I'm sure the other one) belongs to Phoenix Air Group out of Georgia. Not sure what pod is under the wing, though. Since these appear to fulfill a role as adversary aircraft for the US military, I'm guessing it's some form of EW or targeting pod. Maybe somebody here can identify it. Either way, I dig the paint job. Justin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ross blackford Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 :D, No photos but earlier today I heard an aircraft approaching from the southwest and went outside to see a RAAF C130J flying over at about 2500' heading from Richmond to Williamtown. We don't see Hercs in thses parts much anymore, not like in times gone by when you'd see the East Coaster late every Thursday afternoon or evening on its way back to Richmond. , Ross.

Moose135 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Checking out of a hotel in Salina, KS on Wednesday, I saw a jet on approach to the local airport. Turns out it was the Bombardier CS100 flight test aircraft. I was able to get a couple of shots on their second approach. Turns out Bombardier is using Salina for flight test of the new aircraft.

Rich in name only Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Antonov: not Russian----is Ukrainian. Antonov is and has been a Ukrainian company. They formed a cargo airline, using planes they build. Note the Ukrainian flag on the plane. These days the difference is significant. Also, it's good to note that even in Soviet days the Ukrainian aircraft industry (and others) was key. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ishthe47guy Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 By a happy accident, I found the observation deck in terminal 4, Heathrow Airport. It gives you a decent view of the action on the arrival end of 27L. Its glassed in, so you have to deal with the limitations of shooting through glass. Kind of hard to miss the entry. Overhead view of airport, observation deck is in the lower right corner. Graphic layout of the airport This place is 787 central. View of Concorde from there From smallest to biggest. Special markings for 2015 Rugby Cup which were going on while I was there. From the local time I took this shot, this was either the Chicago or Los Angeles departure. Notice the Ethiopian 787 in the background. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jinxter13 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) It's been a very busy morning for the flying leathernecks...first two AH-1's, then two UH-1's, and finally an MV-22B (my first sighting). If you haven't seen/heard one IMHO you can't mistake it for any other aircraft it has very distinctive engine sounds. Edited October 31, 2015 by #1 Greywolf Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ishthe47guy Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 (edited) Dubai Airshow 2015, Dubai World Central/Al Maktoum Int. Airport. The last show (2013, its a biannual trade show) was canceled due to heavy rains, high winds and thunderstorms... in the desert... First time I've seen a A350 in person. These new generation airliners are incredibly quiet. Edited November 9, 2015 by Ishthe47guy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ishthe47guy Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Yes, that was. Not the best pics, sorry about that. Also, just discovered that plain old iPhoto on my iMac does a better job of editing pictures than Apature did on the A350 shots... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
