NO No no..... I'm saying that by your wily ways you have escaped death by the hair on a droid's chinny chin chin. Meant that as a compliment of sorts and my no means was I dissing you. Now back to our aircraft bone yard topic if we may..... What are some of the more rare birds that might be...

May have been "researching the enemy".... you know.... SPYING aka Intell-Gathering. UH... We could tell you, but then we'd have to kill you. But if you really must ask.... (sound of round being chambered - - CLICK, RATCHET, CLICK) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyGA5iZukZ0

I subscribe to a weekly FlightAware.com email. One of today's featured articles was this.... AIR FORCE FIRES UP DEPOT LINE to KEEP A-10s FLYING INDEFINITELY http://www.popularmechanics.com/military/a23537/air-force-fires-up-depot-line-keep-a-10s-flying-indefinitely/?src=socialflowFB Sounds...

HEY ! I want to see the completed and approved EUC before you take off with that DRMO'd C-130, Pilot.

I had just read this link on the same aircraft's resurrection.... http://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/5384/resurrected-b-52h-ghost-rider-reenters-active-service-at-minot-afb

WOW ! 1954 ~ Present ! 62 years and the basic profile is virtually unchanged. Even the Ford Mustang has gotten numerous reshapings in it's much younger 52-ish years. Quite a record. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for that info. The bird that picked me up at the small airfield at Ft. George G. Meade, Maryland was definitely jet powered though. When I got onboard the only vacant seat was the forward facing one by the door. My knee was rubbing the short stowed boarding ladder for the short flight...

I just read the WIKI about the S-3 Viking. I am CONFUSED. In the late 70's I did one carrier landing aboard a similar aircraft that had the same apparent external configuration but was internally configured for TWO Cockpit Crew + 5 Passengers (four facing aft - for less traumatic carrier...

Gotta LUV all the variants of the C-130. WHAT-A-PLATFORM for so many missions. I think the USCG paint scheme is my favorite of all the pattern's she's worn.

A keen analysis of the significance of this photo. Sad that only in their decommissioning did so many make muster. Carry on.

I'm a bit confused trying to decode your date notations. Are you saying the pic is circa 1959 or are these aircraft still on-site as of the April 2, 2015 date?? Or is 4/2/15 simply the posting date? Some things are lost to brevity. Thanks for any clarification. Carry on.

Here is yet another article on the rebirth of this B-52.... http://foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com/the-ghost-rider-b-52-rises-from-the-grave-to-ride-aga-1686588702 Carry on.

That's A LOTT of horsepower putting that bird aloft. Good job ! to those who reincarnated her from her sleep. May those who fly upon those wings be kept safe and always blessed in the performance and accomplishment of their missions. AMEN.

It seems you MUST be a SUBSCRIBER for the link above to work :!:

I envied those who got to ride next to those BIG Floor-To-Ceiling PICTURE WINDOWS in the forward cabin of those CG birds. Something tells me that I'd instinctively cinch up the ol' seat belt just a bit tighter to compensate for the "fear of flying" out of the plane. :jumpin: :doh:

Have they pickled any of the Air Force's T-1A Jayhawks yet? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raytheon_T-1_Jayhawk I'm curious, because from 1979-1986 I was in Avionics and Electrical Engineering with Mitsubishi Aircraft International here in San Angelo, TX. Some of my original design work on that...

w o w ! ! !

Sad she'll be shot down by friendly fire.
