  • This guy "mitchell.alaska" on Flickr has some of the absolute best aviation photography I've seen. Of course, I may just be partial since he's AK ANG and as a result they're mostly CSAR- https://www.f

KC-747?! Cool.

IIRC, it was in competition with the KC10 and Boeing was pretty lazy with the overall KC747 design.

Any idea when/where these were taken?

Probably from a tanker when it was flying.

Date/location is more of what I was looking for.

About 2-3 months ago in the AOR.

On April 21, 2013 at precisely 5:06 p.m. PDT Canadian Space Agency Astronaut Colonel Chris Hadfield, Commander of the International Space Station (ISS), was able to capture images of a very unique formation over the Strait of Georgia off the east coast of Vancouver Island.

The “Super Canada Goose” formation consisted of 11 Tutor aircraft from 431 Air Demonstration Squadron, widely known as the Snowbirds and one CF-18 Hornet from the CF-18 Hornet Demonstration Team.

During the two minute photo window, as the ISS passed overhead at 28,000km/h, Cmdr Hadfield was able to see the smoke lines with only his eyes by just looking out the window 370 km above the earth. In the photo the team is travelling north-northwest before turning back to the south. One can clearly see the runways at 19 Wing Comox where the Canadian Armed Forces Snowbirds and the CF-18 Demo Team are temporarily based for spring training.

Many Thanks to Commander Chris Hadfield and Major Jeremy Hansen for seeing this project through to success!

Awesome... I'm sure that's smoke but it would be cooler if they were contrails... "Tally cons - one o'clock low!"

^ I love it when people cannot distinguish "Your" from "You're" ^

Kolb and where? I obviously haven't been paying attention to signs on poles around town...
