Great Navy Hornet (and others) Weathering Ref Shot


Recommended Posts

I'm not sure, I've read the term "Saddle" before but it might indeed have meant SADL for Situational Awareness Data Link ...

I've only noticed that on Growlers before ...

CVW-5 photos are a bit lean on the Navy site right now ...

I did come across these of #507 on there though ...

Hope that's helpful ...

You the man Greg, that helps quite a bit.   I'll be building this one in the near future.   Just trying to find out what the current names are on the port side of the cockpit.   On a weathering related note, that's a gnarly looking external tank in the first picture of 507 you posted.

Geoff, nearly all the photos I post come from the Navy website. They revamped it about two years ago and all the older photos that were posted disappeared unfortunately ...

I recommend >>> Seaforces <<< for older photos some of which they've archived from the Navy site ...

HtH ...

Nothing in particular but your Hornet and Lightning pics give valuable information and detail on those planes.  Just thought it might provide the same detail for others.

The cool thing about posting from the Navy site is that all these photos are Public Domain so you won't run into Copyright issues ... :thumbsup:

Now that the Reagan is headed back out to sea (assuming the pre-sail drug bust didn't deplete the crew too much), maybe CVW-5 will get in some more pictures.   Between your pictures and the others I've come across, the only part of 507 I still don't have details on are the names under the port side canopy and NG door.  If you come across any pictures of those areas of the jet, please feel free to post them Greg!
