TomcatFanatic123 Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 A F-15 was flying around here today. I heard it had to make an emergency landing....Daniel Ah...then it wasn't a Hornet. I saw twin vertical stabs and from that distance it looked like one. I ran outside too late . Link to post Share on other sites

dylan Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 What the heck is that around that airplane? the plane is used for geological survey, the cables are used to send an electric pulse down into the earth so they can see what kind of minerals are under them.

Mr. Silverback Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Saw a Bell 222 today, an OSF St. Anthony Life Flight helo with a brand new paint scheme. It's not exactly an American flag, but the rear of the fuselage and the boom do look like there are red and white stripes streaming down them and the foward section is a dark blue. Didn't have a camera with me, however. Will try to get some helo shots for the site though...the final approach the med choopers toake to Freeport Memorial is usually right past my house, and the hospital's only 3 minutes away by car. If the hospital will give me permission, I can probably get some walkarounds. Link to post Share on other sites
LoganTLR Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 HI CC-177 #1 flew over Kingston in which I think was a fly past for the Military College opening yesterday. It flew right over my place, nice and low, gears down and did one STOOPIT approach at the airport, raised its gear and flew back to Trenton. Tom Link to post Share on other sites

BAM'n'IVM Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Saw something interesting today - not sure what it was. A small aircraft, biz-jet sized - probably about 8 to 10 passengers max, with a T tail, unswept wings set slightly farther back on the body than I'd expect, pusher engines that sounded like they might be turboprops mounted about 1/3 of the way out on the wings, and small canards on the nose - the leading edges looked to be about flush with the tip of the nose, in fact. Any ideas? Link to post Share on other sites

Looked very much like that, in fact. Do they sell 'em to civilians? Pretty sure the Italian Air Force isn't doing much over north Texas right now...the one I saw was on approach to Love Field.

I'm sure they do, they are the 'Ferrari' of Bizjets, but as I don't 'do' civvies, I'm not 100% certain. Link to post Share on other sites
Midnight Storm Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 An aggressor T-38 with a drop tank landed at Moffett Field about ten min ago at 12:35PM. I'll post a photo later. It's pretty crappy due to the smoke from all of the big fires burning in the area. Anybody got more info on this T-38? Link to post Share on other sites
Aggressor Supporter Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 That prop with the canards looks very unique.

Midnight Storm Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 are you sure it wasnt a F-5? Could be. It was going in and out of smoke and I couldn't get a good look at it. I'll look at the photos on the computer when I get back home tomorrow. I'll know for sure then. Link to post Share on other sites
