Hi, I was at Chandler in 1992 Hard to find then but worth it. Runway is the dirt on which I was standing to take first shot! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48917208828_9b59386024_c.jpg Chandler by warferry , on Flickr The African Queen was listed as a ex BOAC machine, but keep forgetting my ag...

My visit was '93 Not a lot of those modern turbine-powered things around then! But lots of round-engined items from Douglas! Speaking of which, need to see if I can work out such DC-6 is in the background of one of mine. Has "African Queen" scrawled on the nose.. feels like ought to be easy to iden...

Awesome stuff Al , always love seeing old planes in the desert . According to Flightaware , N118TG is a regular flyer last noted out of Ellington Field in Houston , TX last Friday 11th . I second Punkrunner62 , got any more ? Wow, I'd seen a report of her in one piece somewhere, but hadn't realised...

Been scanning some slides from a trip to the SW USA way back in 1999. Having scanned several boxes of AMARC overflights I was starting to get a little jaded (AMARC overflights are great, but the pictures do get to be a bit samey after a while!). Happily I then stumbled across a few pictures from Cha...

Bet the weather made then glad to be leaving!! Interesting to note that the serial number on the data block on #7 has been scrubbed out or monkeyed with in some way...

Would think so. Turned over Worcester to the NW and towards VYL (Valley - to save any possible confusion) Puzzling why it has been dependent on the fate of the KC-10 at Mildenhall for the return journey, unless it is being met by a tanker from the States. I would assume having got it fixed they wer...

Rumble over Sywell 1325. Too cloudy

Hope no-one minds me butting in... Swung past Valley on the way to get the ferry to Ireland in 2005 and got the Hunter: https://live.staticflickr.com/4135/4771980569_4459a58450_b.jpg WV396 by Alistair Henderson , on Flickr Wessex HU.5 XT469 on display outside the Tactical Supply Wing (I think) at RA...

What a fantastic set of pictures! I agree about Leuchars shows always being grey and dull, not sure I ever had the 'shooting into the sun' problem of which you speak :-)

Al.

Lovely Gannets! I saw XG888 at Nowra in 2001, sadly the picture doesn't really do her justice:

Does anyone know if those EC-135Hs were capable of being tankers? I seem to remember they always did a flypast with the boom down, suggesting it was operational in some form.. Yet I'd have thought it was odd for a airborne command post to double as a tanker..

Al.

Nice! Bet a few hire car miles were burned in getting that little lot!!

Nice - never even heard of RAF Chickerell! Shows how many bases we used to have...

I do like a Tucano, prefer the red/white scheme to the black. Nice to see so many special schemes. Is it a normal scheme for this year's display?

AL.

Nice idea, another quick browse through the Flickr archive. Thank heavens for the tagging!

Thanks for putting me right on that. Can offer more Norwegian, Dutch or USAF but not Canadian or Jordanian. As far as I know the '83 Ch.Fenton show was the only time they appeared over here. I do have pics of the single -seater which gave the display but they're b&w. Did they genuinely come all the...

97117 at Mojave is an odd one! Who does that belong to?

Al.

Very nice indeed :thumbs: , the Jordanian is 1751, an F-5F of 17 squadron. More please. :) Thanks for putting me right on that. Can offer more Norwegian, Dutch or USAF but not Canadian or Jordanian.
