Someone's been watching Yukikaze and has too much time on their hands. Cool models, BTW. |

I was talking empty weight. We just barely make it as a heavy (gross out around 315k). |

F-15s and F16s come off the line in those colors, too. Not kevlar, just the coating on the aluminum/composites. |

The venerable OV-10 Bronco...the only one I spent a lot of time in...she brought me home every time. This was taken over Okinawa in 1989.

Some real fine pictures of our bomber fleet. I was actually deployed to where the picture of the B-2 and two F15s were taken...Andersen AFB, Guam this past summer. If you look down at the bottom of the pic, you'll see some igloos and trailers. That's the back of Munitions Storage Area 2, one of the places I worked. From MSA 1, I actually saw the formation fly right over our shop...really cool. Kevin |

B-49 Flying Wing
  B-47 Bomber    F-85 Goblin Parasite Fighter      F-85 McDonnell Parasite Jet Fighter  FICON (Fighter-Conveyor) was a project intended to provide the B-36 with its own fighter type aircraft to be carried into the combat zone. The first such project involved the McDonnell XF-85, ordered October 9, 1945, a midget fighter designed to be carried within the B-36 bomb bay. Although two XF-85 prototypes were built and flight tested from a B-29B in August 1948, the concept did not prove practical. In spite of that failure, Convair received a contract for a prototype FICON system to carry and retrieve a Republic F-84E single-seat fighter from a B-36. On January 19, 1951 RB-36F-1, 49-2707, was assigned for modification as the GRB-36F prototype and was able to make its first contact flight on January 9, 1952. SPECIFICATIONS Span: 21 ft. 1 in. Length: 14 ft. 1 in. Height: 8 ft. 3 in. Weight: 4,550 lbs. Armament: Four .50-cal. machine guns Engine: One Westinghouse XJ-34 of 3,000 lbs. thrust Crew: One PERFORMANCE Maximum speed: 650 mph. Combat speed: 581 mph. Maximum endurance: 1 hr. 20 min. Combat Ceiling: 46,750 ft.

That's actually not an ME-109, its a Spanish Hispano-Aviacion HA-1112 M1L Buchon, a licensed copy of the -109. You can tell by the way that the engine is mounted. ETA: Here's a picture of one in correct insignia at the museum I work at.

In Soviet Russia, fighter flies you!
Man, it is hard to find a decent picture of this thing. Either it's dead or being worked on really hard. It seems to recent to be dead.  Sukhoi Su-37/S-47 "Berkut." |

No, guy’s that get paid to ride in the back seat of the chase planes and take pictures took them all. Some of the best ones were taken by the late Judson Brohmer; he was a damn good photographer. Judson died a few years ago in an F-16 crash while doing what he loved. The picture of acft 011 is the only one that I don't know who the photographer was. I'm a crew chief who spent a little over four years working on them. |
