July 25, 201213 yr Gibson Reservior on the Rocky Mountain Front. A convoy finished early so we decided to do some sightseeing.
July 26, 201213 yr Yeah, keep telling yourself that. Truth is they got scrambled to make sure you guys landed at the right airport. ...too soon? And Here I thought the C-17 was following them to the Boneyard so they had a ride home.
July 26, 201213 yr And Here I thought the C-17 was following them to the Boneyard so they had a ride home. ...too soon?
July 26, 201213 yr ....No no. See, this is a win-win for everybody.....the C-17s land at the right field and the Eagles get an airborne filmer platform to shoot footage for the '13 Raytheon award video. That and the C-17 is full of MX guys, tools and parts as at least one of those Eagles will hard break when they RON somewhere off station. Spent too many years working Eagles, this is closer to the truth than anyone will admit. To the Eagle Keepers!
July 26, 201213 yr at least one of those Eagles will hard break when they RON somewhere off station. Depends on where they RON. Amazing how 2 motors and redundant hydraulics always seem to work well enough get out of any bad location. Edited July 26, 201213 yr by Danny Noonin
July 27, 201213 yr Depends on where they RON. Amazing how 2 motors and redundant hydraulics always seem to work well enough get out of any bad location. Wasn't aware that Eagles ever went to bad locations...
July 27, 201213 yr We were not getting lost this day... Awesome shot of Patriot's Point and the USS Yorktown. What was the purpose of this formation? I'm sure the tourists on Fort Sumter and elsewhere enjoyed the view!
July 27, 201213 yr Hauled the 33rd up for Tng w/ local bases, in exchange got some DACT. The local Combat Camera folks rode along. This was circa 2006, Russ Cooley got lots of the pics from the sortie published. B roll had lots of keepers. Gotta use the expired MJU-10s somehow. All briefed and blessed.
July 27, 201213 yr Is it just me or did the 17 leave some taxi or LDG lights on for the flight... Lighs on below 10k bro.
July 27, 201213 yr Lighs on below 10k bro. Yeah, because seeing a C-17 with the lights off is pretty tough.
July 28, 201213 yr This guy has some of the best A2A photos I've seen. Some of you may have flown with him since he seems to be pretty popular in this field and has a wide variety of stuff. https://focalplaneima...d-Wing-aircraft
August 6, 201213 yr It's not A/A but still sweet Wait, who cleared you to land? Don't tell me you were VFR.
