jinxx1 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) The former korean T-38s are being taken out of AMARChttp://www.af.mil/news/story.asp?storyID=123237604 Some of the ground crew for the Guppy told me last Tuesday that they had another mission coming up this month, I believe on the 20th, when they will haul two more T-38s to Holloman.

slacy Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Not sure I think T-38s, but I'm no expert on those. So here is a closeup and hopefully someone else can nail that down. Here is some more info and pictures on these T-38s http://www.af.mil/photos/media_search.asp?...7&btnG.y=10 Stuart Quote Link to post Share on other sites
F106A Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Taken September, 2008 at a base in the desert. It's a zoom from a bad point-and-shoot camera shot I took while taxiing. Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like an interesting place to do some perusing (assuming you didn't run a chance of ending up in a bad guy snuff-video by wandering off).

HA!! Yea, I sure wish I could have! Seriously, I do!! Most of the stops we do over there are EROs (Engine Running Offload/Onload) so I'm lucky to get what I do get! That, and the fact that as we're taxiing, as the flight engineer; I'm configuring the engines, the APU, and the electrics to run in an engine downspeed condition, running the after landing/ERO checklist, trying to help keep my head on a swivel in congested parking ramps looking for other traffic, backing up the pilots listening to ground for our parking instructions, or getting our clearance info to leave, hoping I might sneak out the back ramp for a quick cigarette if the forkift/pax are running slow (and having to convince the co-pilot to watch the engines for me when I do that), getting the cargo info from the loadmaster so I can run new TOLD (Take Off and Landing Data - all by hand using charts - no computer), and oh yea, taking as many photos I can of cool stuff to post here! Pretty simple! I'll get right on that! :D (Actually, since I'm retiring soon I've made my last trip to sandland! :unsure: ) Mark Edited January 15, 2011 by F106A Quote Link to post Share on other sites

F106A Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 The pic in the desert - Su-22s and a MiG-15? Near as I can tell, yes. I have no idea what is with the tail on the one in the background. Something folded up under it? No idea... Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aaronacw Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Just gonna chip in a couple I took in the China Aviation Museum in Beijing. (its my JP) http://www.jetphotos.net/viewphoto.php?id=...385&nseq=41 http://www.jetphotos.net/viewphoto.php?id=...514&nseq=48 http://www.jetphotos.net/viewphoto.php?id=...929&nseq=16 Also there are a couple of Il-2s and more chinese trainers, sitting out their last days in a "boneyard" section of the museum!

No idea...Mark It looks to me like it's just the last section of fuselage hanging from it's bottom attachment point and leaving the tailpipe exposed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

oortiz10 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Hey ARCers, I was digging around on a flash drive looking for some missing homework assignment when I ran across from old pix I took at Chino’s Planes of Fame. I’ve found a way to marry my two hobbies; here are some practice shots. My wife and I really enjoy photography as a hobby we can do together, and I’m trying to improve on my composition and technique. cont... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

avro683 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Not sure if this topic will be of interest but I took these shots at Bangor (ME) International Airport. At a remote side of the airport, they are scrapping a bunch of commuter aircraft. Sorry for the crappy pictures, it was a pretty gloomy day, which kind of suites the scene of all these aircraft waiting patiently to be broken up. ATR-42, no idea what airline Regards, John That is not an ATR42 it is a Dehav Dash 8.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
