Sorry for the delay everyone, but I was just flat worn out Sunday night and yesterday wasn’t the greatest day, either. I managed to get the pictures for this post edited and the panoramas stitched together, and uploaded, but getting them built into the post and captioned took a bit too much time. I finally [...]  It’s that time of year again – Airshow Time Yes, it’s one of the things I look forward to the entire year. I get to have fun with firearms throughout the year, but I only get one weekend a year at Nellis AFB to enjoy the aircraft Before you get to the flight line, [...] The Messerschmitt Bf-109 was one of Nazi Germany’s most feared and respected fighter planes during WWII. There aren’t that many real ones still flying, but I found this great video of one of them in action. If you look at the cowling, you can see that the exhaust stacks are on the lower portion of [...] I say new, as in to me. It is basically a thirty year old airframe. Still works. Got this from a site/posting about the Edwards Show some years ago. When I get new name tapes made for it for the pilot, Major FA Evensen, Royal Norwegian Air Force, and me, new pictures will be posted [...] Have you ever watched a cool video of warbirds starting, taxiing, and flying but found the narration and background music annoying?

[...] Sorry for the delay, but I’ve been trying to get all the pics uploaded to save time on the back side for each of the posts to come in the future. Hopefully I’ll be able to get the rest of the posts up in the next couple of days I’ve also managed to get [...] I didn’t think it was getting that thin! Oh Well. Such is life Weapons guys. Just thought I would toss a few more out there for your viewing enjoyment. Just a few of a regular day at my corner of the world here at Edwards AFB. The thermometers are a recent addition. And I know how much Jeff wanted to see the temp during a normal day out here in the Mojave/Antelope Valley. Conversion done by Evergreen at Marana, AZ. Normally the field there is a boneyard, where airplanes go to die. But Evergreen has a large facility there doing maintenance and conversions. This is the most interesting conversion since the Aero Space Lines 377 Guppy and Super Guppy. It is a serious fire bomber. But don’t look [...] |
