slick95 Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Had an IO-540 powered Christian Eagle come visit us last weekend. Very loud, VERY COOL!!! Also saw an S-62, I believe, out at KGTU. SLICK Link to post Share on other sites
David Walker Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Two F/A-18s in very close formation flying over south Denver, Colorado. And I have no idea why they were there. Looked cool though. Link to post Share on other sites
DonSS3 Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Saw five MH-47s in formation flying over Clarksville, TN today. I suspect they're from the 160th SOAR (out of Ft Campbell, KY). Link to post Share on other sites
David Walker Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Also saw an S-62, I believe, out at KGTU. I'm pretty sure that's an S-58. I used to fly on one as a medical flight crew member. And the one in your picture looks great. Link to post Share on other sites

TomcatFanatic123 Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 A P-3 flew right over my house at no more than 1,000 feet this afternoon on its way into Vandenberg. First P-3 I've see flying around here in years. I know they visit here often, but the pattern doesn't come anywhere near my house, so usually I don't see them (or pretty much anything else that flies into VAFB). That's why I was so surprised to see this one today, especially so low. It was cool Link to post Share on other sites

Also there was the black tailed VMGR-352 KC-130J doing some pattern work, it's finally dirty now; no more of that factory fresh look. :) Daniel Link to post Share on other sites

DonSS3 Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 This MH-47 flew over the house the other day, had to dash inside, get the camera and shoot fast, only managed to get this one pic: Link to post Share on other sites
Sig Saur & Son Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 (edited) Yesterday, I was relaxing on the back deck when a C-130J came over the house on final for the local FBO. He was in a bank with the port side wing low and I could clearly see the pilots face. If I had my camera with me even with the 24 to 85mm lens, I could not have fit the sucker in the frame. Boy I hate it when the do that with out calling me first. I think it was out of Glenn Martin Field, Baltimore, MD. Edited May 11, 2007 by Sig Saur & Son Link to post Share on other sites

I should have some books by then to bring to you, Doogie, JR, and the gang. I imagine the excercise might be over by then,not sure. Next friday?Shouldn't be a problem,just let me know what time.I'm still on nights next week so it shouldn't be a problem,if it's the week after then I'll have to convince the boss to let me have a half day off(since it's golf season it'll be hard to do ).I'm hoping the plane has all the markings applied by then <_< Can't wait to see the book!

andyman_1970 Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 I caught this Herc on the way home from work yesterday at Little Rock National Airport, a nice way to end the work week. "Prop 65" is with the 189 AW of the Arkansas Air National Guard based at Little Rock AFB. This one goes out to my 189th buddy and loadmaster Bobby D. Link to post Share on other sites
Holeshot Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 McGuire AFB open house: Some neat stuff, including Waco's F-22 (no Waco though, "his" jet was on loan to another pilot.) Her's some of the other stuff there, if I can remember it all: Static display: T-28 Trojan T-37 Tweet T-45 Hawk 3 or so C-23? Learjets UH-60 Blackhawk NJ NG C-17 Globemaster III C-5 Galaxy KC-135 B-52H "Black Widow" 23rd BS 2x A-10s CT ANG F-16C NJ ANG F-15E Strike Eagle F-22 Raptor F/A-18C from VFA-I forget--the "War Party" C-45 Provider (Beech 18) P-40 Warhawk (I think an E-model) TBM-3E Avenger P-51D "Glamorous Gal" B-25 "Miss Hap" B-17F "Memphis Belle" OE-1 Bird Dog L-6 grasshopper Beech Staggerwing The USMC had one of the new 7-ton trucks with an M198 155mm howitzer behind it, that was cool too. I didn't stick around for all of the flying displays, but they included: Geico Skytypers T-6s F/A-18E/F Super Hornet (first one broke taxiing out, had to switch to the backup) QF-4E Phantom in a glossy SEA scheme A-10s P-51D Marchetti SF-166 "Dr. Smoke" KC-135 KC-10 C-17 F-117 Stealth fighter USAF Thunderbirds Overall, not one of the better airshows I've been to lately, but it was cool to finally see an F-22. They had it parked with the AAM rails out, that was cool, but they weren't allowing photos of the rear of it. (But if they were that worried about it, wouldn't they have brought exhaust covers?)
