Just returned from visiting my mom and dad and my dad came across a few more of his. He was working Crash Resuce at Clovis Air Force Base in NM which at that time was a large training base for the F-100D
F-100D which overshot the runway:
F-100D which had blown a tire at landing. He vivdly remembers it being nastie due to fuel pouring out of the back of the plane.
Got some more in this week.
1 - A reprint, it shows the USS Lexington, Saratoga, and the Langley.
2 - Shows the Lexington and Saratoga together under sail.
3 - Duth Brewster Buffalo at the factory
4 - Stoch Ambulance
5 - Russian I-153's
The top one's are of a couple of shots of an F-117 that was visiting Shaw AFB awhile back. The cool thing is this plane is based at the Air Force Base I lived at before my dad was transferred to SC (Holloman AFB, New Mexico). The last one I got in the mail today, it was listed as a wrecked French Bomber but is actually a picture of a Soviet TB-3 bomber.
Cool shots! Saw an F-117 at an airshow out here once, it actually flew over my house in formation with an A-10 and F-16. My house is under a flightpath!
I saw an F-117 shortly after Desert Storm 1 at the March Air Base airshow. It was one of the first times the rear of the plane was viewable by the general public.
The Buffalo in post #47 is a belgian one, not a dutch one.
The mysterious aircraft in the background of the pic in post #12 is Breguet Br 691 or 693. The undercarriage is very typical for this plane (and it was also pretty weak, for what I have read).
Hi all,
Reading this post I think I've some additions. The F-16 is a Dutch bird at KAF in 2006. And does anyone know the unit emblem of the Owl...I think it is from a German FLAK unit but I'm looking for comfirmation.
Cheers and thanks,
Sander
