jmel Posted March 21, 2005 Author Share Posted March 21, 2005 Nice shots Jake, thanks. Could you explain what EOR stands for? End Of Runway. Last Chance, Arm/De-arm, Hammerhead, etc. It's the place immediately before the runway where the jets are looked over one last time for any problems. Jake Link to post Share on other sites
jmel Posted March 21, 2005 Author Share Posted March 21, 2005 91-0393 at the beginning of its takeoff roll. The white C-141 in the background is the famous "Hanoi Taxi" that we've probably all seen at an airshow or two. It's based here. Jake Link to post Share on other sites

Matt Walker Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 AS stated, they are block 52's, so the carbon feathers are standard. M Link to post Share on other sites
FAR148 Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 (edited) AS stated, they are block 52's, so the carbon feathers are standard. Not all 52's started life with carbon feathers. It's good some photos of them here! Edited March 22, 2005 by FAR148 Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Not all 52's start life with carbon feathers. All F100-PW-229s started life with carbon feathers - are you saying there are Block 52s that started life w/o -229s??? Link to post Share on other sites
FAR148 Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 QUOTE (FAR148 @ Mar 21 2005, 07:10 PM) Not all 52's start life with carbon feathers. All F100-PW-229s started life with carbon feathers - are you saying there are Block 52s that started life w/o -229s??? No, My bag I remember reading about the Tulsa vipers getting re engined with 229's. And forget that they are block 42's and not 52's Any who..... I am just going to shut up now :P Link to post Share on other sites

It's good some photos of them here! They did, Steven. Block 52s come from the factory with the -229 engine. It's the block 42 that is being upgraded to the -229.
