B52gator Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 KC-747?! Cool. IIRC, it was in competition with the KC10 and Boeing was pretty lazy with the overall KC747 design.
ThreeHoler Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 KC-747?! Cool. That 747 flying test bed is at the Boeing museum in Seattle.
lloyd christmas Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) Any idea when/where these were taken? Probably from a tanker when it was flying. Edited January 26, 2013 by lloyd christmas 3
ARAMP1 Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 Probably from a tanker when it was flying. Date/location is more of what I was looking for.
StoleIt Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 Any idea when/where these were taken? About 2-3 months ago in the AOR. 1
MKopack Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 From Facebook: 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! Photo courtesy NASA – Cmdr Chris Hadfield 2
billy pilgrim Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 From Facebook: Awesome... I'm sure that's smoke but it would be cooler if they were contrails... "Tally cons - one o'clock low!"
DFRESH Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 (edited) Found all over the skreets of Tucson! Edit to fix wacky ass codes. Edited April 24, 2013 by DFRESH
Clayton Bigsby Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 ^ I love it when people cannot distinguish "Your" from "You're" ^
stract Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Kolb and where? I obviously haven't been paying attention to signs on poles around town...
DFRESH Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 I can't recall... somewhat north on Kolb. But there's plenty of them around. A few on Broadway too.
