That's surprising...I thought the sundown was complete? Does the RAG keep a couple of P-3s around for NOAA/FMS/etc training?

You can't make hangar queens fly. Maybe they will truck them to Davis-Mothan?

Still a couple hanging out here, in fact I worked on one in December. I look out the hanger door and can see two on the other side of the flightline.

I see them on my way to the marina and think they would make a nice reef. Or maybe they would even gross out the resident sea life.

My latest model project - portraying a "rapid rework" of a British Challenger II, out of cold storage where it last served in Iraq, in its latest livery for service in the spring offensive in UKR

Did you do a scale pallet of 100 dollar bills as well?

I flew into Paine Field today and as we were taxing in, there were 4 USN -60's parked, not sure if they were on the Paine Field side or Boeing side of the fence. I tried to get a picture but my wife was in the way (shouldn't have given her the window seat lol), unfortunately I couldn't get a good view for pictures after we landed. I was surprised to see them parked there as I haven't seen any -60's up there before.

I don't speak helo, but maybe this is the way they get aboard Everett/Bremerton based boats? Or maybe the mountain flying course in Fallon goes real far? Or maybe just an epic cross country from North Island?

That would explain it, I wonder about the 4th though, maybe there for different reason so just parked them all together.

Painfully long flight, but amazing views. Did it the opposite way in a single day - Strait of Juan de Fuca to NZY. Three legs in a 60F. Recommend the two day option if you have it.

I don't know what to make of this one. I somehow doubt that this ?aircraft? has flown in this configuration. I'm told it came from a Russian website so it must be true, and yet...

Photoshop. The aircraft is the PLA Air Force Shenyang J-16D, similar to the EA-18G. The radome and the shark graphic (denoting Navy) on the tail were photoshopped on.

Does Chinese Growler have gun?

Does Chinese Growler have gun?

From a cursory search online, it appears to have 30mm gun.
