Your F-14 has a serious case of limp-strut.









Unfortunately a few of them are like that. The one at Udvar Hazy is among them.



I was really impressed by a few of the more recent additions to the Naval Aviation museum in Pensacola... The F-14 they have inside looks like it was flown off the carrier, to NAS Pensacola and taxied directly into the museum hangar. (It probably was. )

Thanks.

I played with it a little in post-processing to enhance the fact that the aircraft skin was only alodined, which gave the whole plane a green hue.


ETA: The same aircraft, on the ramp at RMMA during the Sunday show last year. The green hue is even evident in bright sunlight.

It was. And then managed to get fodded out after landing. You can see the softball sized hole in the left intake fan.

Holy cow, these are wonderful pics. Quib, your pics are pure artistry. Thank you.

I lived a few miles from Chino Airport from 1971 to 1981 as a kid. Went there all the time.

CB_HK...nice capture of that F-15.

I've yet to be lucky enough to catch vapor formations like that. Maybe we just don't have the right conditions here.

Thanks, Quib.

 



I think it definitely has a lot to do with the humidity here in Florida. Back in SoCal you could sometimes see vapor start to form but it never came to life like it seems to here.

The ambient humidity plays a huge part. Out here at the Oceana air show (VA Beach), you get some great vapor coming off them when they turn and burn.

I'll see your propeller aircraft, and raise you two shots of the Viper West guy preparing to get underway... (I need to learn how to take pictures of airplanes that are actually moving...)
