Correct, but I don't know anything else about which mission.

How did the Buccaner compared with the A-6?

 

[cammerjeff]

Thanks for the ID, I suspected it was the Ark but I didn't know for sure.

This next one may stretch the Cold War Era Aircraft with it being a agricultural sprayer, but the PZL M-15 is type a new to me, and I had no Idea anyone made a Jet powered biplane, and the fact that they made more than 100 of them was a shock! I leaned something new today!

Should be in a Mad Max movie

I Like this view of a Myasishchev M-4 Bison (or Hammer as the Russians call it) a Type I never actually have seen in person. I always thought it was a great looking A/C.

The engines... Kinda... Unusual! At least, for my eyes!!!

This one is a bit small, but what a diverse group of USAF planes. It really shows how long the XB70 is compared to the early short fuselage C141. And also how big a RB57 is!

Is it Edwards AFB? Or Wright Patterson AFB?

 

[cammerjeff]

I don't think its Edwards AFB, I think it is Laughlin AFB in Texas. But I am not sure of that.

I bow to the master Snautzer01! At least I had the correct State!

I guess I'm slow but I just found this thread. I thought I might share some of my photos from my USAF career. I didn't work on most of these all of these were taken over a four year span while stationed at the 961st AWACS Kadena Air Base Okinawa Japan from 88-92!

During the Soul Olympics we had so extraordinary aircraft come including this RC-135S Cobra Ball.

We had a detachment of RC-135V and W assigned and would get a U in on occasion but the S was a rather rare sight, it stayed for a couple of weeks.

There was a detachment of SR-71's assigned from the late 60's through the aircraft's retirement. I was invited over to watch preflight and launch one day as the chief was my former branch chief when at Andersen. I took these from a site on the base overlooking the runways called Habu Hill.

While with the CAP i took a flight of cadets on a KC-135 orientation flight, I spent more time working KC-135's than any other airframe in my 20 years in the military. During the flight we were refueling a flight of RF-4C's. Here are some shots from that flight.

I'll add more since I've found this thread. I hope you enjoy these memories.

Not my photos but I worked on B-52D from 81-83 at Andersen AFB Guam as a Dopper Navigation Radar specialist, without a doubt the nastiest dirtiest aircraft I've ever worked on and I loved working on them! Photos are from the National Museum of the USAF at Wright -Patterson AFB Dayton OH. If you ever have the chance to visit, it's a must!
