Bryan Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Currently being treated to a dogfight, courtesy of the USAF. Kickin back with a beer and watching the action. We get the Lakenheath Eagles once a year round these parts for training. Tonight is fighter night. Apologies for the dark photo, i was a bit rushed, these F15's don't really let you know they're coming until they are right on top of you. :D Link to post Share on other sites
oggy4624 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 A very international day today. First, the president of Rawanda arrived in a South African global express, not a great photo. Then a brand spanking 737-800 on the way to India, Link to post Share on other sites

RipVW Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 I took my little boy down to Tucson International this morning to see the Collings Foundation Bombers. They were flying until 11 AM, and then we were able go aboard the B-17, B-24 and B-25. Sammy had a blast. While we were waiting, at least a dozen AZ Vipers graced the pattern as well as a Sky Harbor KC-135R that shot approaches for an hour. And . . . of course the usual buffet of airliners doing their daily comings and goings from the Old Pueblo. I'll post some photos on Wednesday. ATB - - Rip - Link to post Share on other sites
Tiger15 Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I watched and listened from my house as 2 F-16's from the Montana ANG flew over the airport. They only did one flyover and were gone. I wanted more. I still enjoyed it though. Joel Link to post Share on other sites
dscttyd Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 well went out to fly the evening local at TRAVIS and a Russian TU-154 with gagarin space center written on it was in front of base ops. Think it is hauling a Treaty verification team Scott Link to post Share on other sites
Rescuemedic Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 This showed for fuel at KMGW on Easter. I am not sure what role the aircraft is used for now. It had the rear ramp removed and a ton of gear inside. Josh Link to post Share on other sites

RipVW Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 OK . . . I promised pictures and I'm gonna' deliver pictures. As previously noted in this posting, the Collings Foundation B-17, B-24 and B-25 are in Tucson (17 - 19 April) and I took my son down to visit the bombers on Tuesday morning. The airport was very busy, and we were able to watch over a dozen AZ ANG F-16s, a Sky Harbor KC-135R and many commercial/civil aircraft in addition to the CF bombers. The first shot was a lucky one that gives an idea of just how busy things were: Link to post Share on other sites
