Pressed 2 accidentally and make a C-120, fixed it

I guess the guys from Fairchild would have liked to see their strange flying package here 

BTW, you're lucky to have these good old H's with their T56s here. Where I am living, there is only KC/C-130J around.

The first picture is really cool seeing the evolution of Ukranian aircraft!

[XB-70A]

Sorry if it violates the suggestion, I may have preferred to resuscitate this specialized topic rather than to invade the one dedicated to photography in general.

Here are some pictures took during the last two months.

23 May:

Cessna 560 Citation V

  Reveal hidden contents

 

 Bombardier Global 5000

 

Pilatus PC-12NG

 

Cessna 500 Citation I

 

 

 

25 May:

Cessna 750 Citation X - Retrofitted with winglets like the X+.

 

 

28 May:

Bombardier BD-100 Challenger 350.

  Reveal hidden contents

 

Cessna 560XL Citation Excel

 

The same modernized 750.

 

By far the best surprise of the day:

Beautiful G-1159A. If only it was not fitted with the Stage III noise reduction kit... Spey are a rarity now.

 

 

 

25 June:

Dassault Falcon 900

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

Cessna 172S Skyhawk-SP

 

Bombardier Learjet 45

 

Hawker 800XP

 

 

 

27 June:

Greatest surprise of the day, as this Falcon 50 was not announced on Flightradar.

  Reveal hidden contents

 

This Mitsubishi MU-300 Diamond is an original one built before the redemption of the license by Beechcraft in 85 (which later sold it to Hawker)

 

The Citation V is asking some respect from its offspring.

 

The inexhaustible Long Ranger.

 

Beechcraft 76 Duchess. Not so common nowadays.

 

Another Hawker 800XP.

 

 

 

26 July:

A BA Boeing 777-236ER approaching KMCO (18 L-R)

  Reveal hidden contents

 

I really like the 800s, so another one.

 

 

 

Again, another Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign (took at max zoom so pretty blurry)

 

The reason why I stayed on the site for six hours, an Embraer EMB-135BJ Legacy 600 was announced but constantly delayed.

 

 

 

27 July:

The main reason I went there that day.

A North American 265 Sabreliner 65 was announced. Every time it was showed online I missed it, even that day it was announced at 12:34 and was accelerating on the runway right at the time I was leaving my car... it was 12:14. Anyway, I got you dear artifact!

  Reveal hidden contents

 

Bombardier CL-604 Challenger

 

One of the few Honda HondaJet made two departures in the same day.

 

The same Citation I than before. Its first-gen JT15D are making a nice melody.

 

Last of all, a rare Cirrus SF50 which has just received a new and fresh livery.

Went to a Mariners-Blue Jays game in Seattle yesterday, and got a bonus: some flybys! We apparently missed a P-51, but the top of the parkade was good for spotting some others.

First, the Blue Angels' "Fat Albert" C-130 was lumbering around...

Then the Blue Angels themselves flew around for awhile...

But while waiting for those... IT'S A BIRD! IT'S A PLANE! IT'S.... nope, just a bird...

Gotta love that shade of blue sky. Beautiful day.

Ah, the venerable B-1RD.

And with the classic inverted inverted gull wings, no less.

Pictures from the terminal at MSP:

KC-10 Extender

C-130s

Three Deltas

Engine of a 737-900 ER (If I recall correctly)

727 at Spokane

[HazelPine]

Had a small airshow last weekend!

 

[dangerhamster]

A few of the Ukrainian Flanker display at RIAT. Even scored a very nice mug and some stickers off the crew. Top chaps.

Figured I'd bump this thread instead of making a new one. First up is a Delta 757 de-icing

Kinda blurry shooting through 3 panes of glass but it's still a fine picture

Swift Air B734 landing at MSP for reasons we still don't know

I'll be glad when they paint these old liverys in to the new carrot livery

Boring old AA B738

Tucano in Super mod. These are the ones of the official demonstration team of the F.A.B., the "Smoke Squadron".

Well, we also had some, but not in Super mod.

These %#@$ threw them away while they were still having a lot of potential, leaving the force with a gap: pilots have to jump from the TB30 Epsilon (single engine piston) to the Alpha Jet (dual turbofans). Best of the story? The last year they announced their choice for the PC-21 as a substitute to the Alpha... 

Could be nice if your display team opt for the EMB 314 in order to replace the current Wongbee (or even better if they were able to display the T-50 or the Su-30MKK)
