Quite right it is a DC4 used for a re-enactment of the Dams raid that was done in Canada a few years ago.

4668...F-18 on the wing tit of a C-130

4667....Junkers JU-87 "Stuka" dive bomber (not sure how it got in THAT position!)

@Noggin...ahhh DC-4. Good call.

Is that you?

I never got to do that with a jet since the I spent most of my time in legacy Hercs. Didn't do the Js until my reserve time and didn't fly very much.

No it's not me but wish it was. I never served so these pictures are fascinating to me.

Likewise...

I do have 2.5 hrs of stick time in a B-17. Flew it from Stillwater to Dayton. That was pretty cool.

Um...KC-130...notice the drogue...

135.
Probably .

Probably .

While the KC-135 can do drogue refueling, it doesn't have a ramp at the tail. There's a boom pod in that spot.

Roger. That's my old job in the Corps. I have some pictures I'll dig up and post.

Yes, a Marine KC-130J actually. The legacy Hercs I spent most of my time on can't have the ramp and door open above 150 knots. J-models can have the back open to 250 knots, I'm not sure if a Hornet could fly at or below 150 without stalling.

Also a Marine Herc because of his boots, we have the brown leather ones he is wearing. I wish I had more info on that picture, might know the guy.

4684...XB-70 Valkyrie. Mach 3+ heavy bomber class. Incredible pic considering they only built two or three. Second most incredible aircraft ever built (next to the SR-71) I think there was only two. One went down in a mid-air with a chase plane and the other rests in the Dayton Air Museum. Your used to seeing gull wings and V-wings etc....these wings actually folded downward for high speed flight. (seen in photo)

Honorable mention....B-58 Hustler medium bomber off the port wing.

4685... F4 Phantom nursing off a KC-135

4686.... I believe thats an AT-6 (SNJ) doing something he probably shouldnt!

'You like Fords?

 

[benenglish]

I can think of several Ford models whose looks I like very much. None of them have wheels, though.
