John, the second picture showe the angled shadowing the radar does to the nose cone on Super Hornets and Growlers ... -Gregg LOL, I saw that and was going to post about it. Hard to believe that's from the sheer electrical power that the AESA radar puts out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gregg is one of my ARC "heroes" for the effort he has put into this thread. As an aside, if one wants to easily batch save all the pictures on a particular thread page, that can be done (in Chrome) by right clicking on a blank space on that page and "Saving As" html. That will save the page as a link and it will be accompanied by a file folder of the same name that contains all the images on that page. As an alternative, I have for years used this excellent Chrome extension: Fatkun Batch Download Image. Gene K Edited November 19, 2022 by GeneK Quote Link to post Share on other sites

11bee Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Good stuff Gregg. My son-in-law is with VAQ-141 out on the Reagan. If you come across any recent pics of that unit, feel free to rack 'em up! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you come across any recent pics of that unit, feel free to rack 'em up! I have a picture of myself sitting in the Captain’s Chair of the USS Reagan, the seat covers were stitched by Nancy Reagan. Not all Captain’s permit this, I was a rare guest who the Captain permitted to sit in the chair. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
southwestforests Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Just saw this image and it brought to mind this thread. Note mix of large and small brown spots in upper wings and stabilators of the USAF F-15E and how clean the Israeli F-35 looks. https://captain-price-officially.tumblr.com/image/701827291216543744 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr.Happy Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Gregg, I just wanted to say THANK YOU. THANK YOU for posting all of your amazing photos throughout the years on ARC. They are truly amazing and so inspiring and useful for painting and weathering jets we love to build. Take care, Mr. Happy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Indeed, especially loving the CVW-8 shots. Have to do some more Super Hornets someday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ExchefAndy Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 He's back!!! And that first pic is brilliant, it's already got my mind wondering how I'll create that moment... I'm not even a fan of the F-18! Awesome, and thanks Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
southwestforests Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Patch painting of radome, and especially multiple patches as on the pictured F-15E, is a thing I don't remember seeing before, but then I'm not real big in to contemporary jets. This just now crossed my path on Tumblr, https://www.tumblr.com/planesawesome/707527356958605312/f-15e-strike-eagle Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Huge thanks for taking Your time to post them here. Not a lot of love for the Amy, right? The way arresting hook bulge sits under the fuselage always reminds me of a T-Rex's pelvic bone. I know.

GreyGhost Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Sometimes, they're removed to not interfere with the drogue "basket" ... It was also done on F-14s ... -Gregg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rightwinger26 Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 A lot of times, if the fairing is removed, it was cracked, usually because of a basket slap. Even when a new one is received from supply, they are kind of time consuming to install, so they are usually taken care of when the jet comes into specials. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
