BWDenver Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 5 hours ago, GreyGhost said: Great photos Bryan and Dave ..! -Gregg Thanks Gregg! I have a whole lot more, but I've been working on an article for the Phantom II, F4H-1, 4A, 4B, 4J/s, 4C, 4D, 4E/G, Brit and German birds along with a few others.... This was kicked off by the F-4B shots with Mk.H5 and Mk.H7 seats. I've been wanting to do it, but it is a bit of a mess with all the major and sub variants. I have far more information on the Navy/USN seats than I do the Air Force seats timeline wise. The thread I'm using for Jet Bang Seats is: Jet AC ejection seats - Jet Modeling - ARC Discussion Forums (arcforums.com) Regards, Bryan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Collin Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 (edited) Couple of things I see in this photo. 1. Interesting paint on the "Fist of the Fleet" bird in the forefront. Darker....bluer shade of grey? 2. Is that Growler packing a live AIM-120 pm the wing pylon? Cheers Collin Edited March 19 by Collin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BWDenver Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Bit of vintage paint. EA-6A 156981 VMAQ-2 USS Midway port call in Puson ROK, summer of 1978. As I understand it this was a non-typical monotone grey paint scheme. A group of us flew a UH-1H down from Taegu and landed at the Puson military compound. Then we took a taxi over to the port. I was flying with 377th Taegu DUSTOFF. As we were touring the ship we talked to some of the Helo folks. They flew us back to the beach in a SeaKing, or as they referred to it a "Seapig". Always had a spot in my heart to the Midway. One of the pilots was nice enough to give me a NATOPS manual on the SH-3, still have it. Bryan Bryan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BWDenver Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 KC-130F 149808 "BOB" VMGR-252 NSA Glenview 2-12-1990 Bit more WX'ing on the backend of the bird than the front. Nice clean KC-130F with a little humor thrown in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
