Well, here are two.
(I'am not allowed to take any photos from the aircrafts inside the base, so I got them from the photo archive)

I've flown this CL 415 during the last summer to help put out the fires

I call her Ina (the name of my girlfriend)

Thanks for the pix.

Hey, the guy probably didn't have enough money to buy a Russian engine. Can't let a grand bird like that just sit and rust! It probably isn't the cost of the Russian engine, but the shipping costs that kills ya.

Always impresses me that no matter how large those airframes are, the cockpits are quite "snug".

You have no idea - I've been in the cockpit of a B-1B. You wear that airplane, even though the thing is so large that you would think they have all the room in the world!

No. Gig Harbor does, as does Arlington.

Trust me - that chick (not a guy) was about 5' 6". The angle and the bulk of her gear was making her look like that!

Man, one thing that is hard to imagine, even from these pics, is the size of this plane! Not only could you fit your house in one of these, you could probably include your neighbors houes, and still have room for a tank! What it reminds me of is a shopping mall! Its a long walk simply walking down that cargo bay!!!

-S

PS. Notice how most people near this plane are simply looking UP!

Pic of the tie downs:

Uhmm - look how far away those people are! I mean, that is way over there to the other side of this plane, and this is on the 'inside'!!!

This pic of this tail - man that made me feel small or insignificant! That this is way way way up there! And this thing flies??? Crazy!:

This is one of the newer C-130's with high efficiency props!

SUBMAN1 · 07-22-08, 10:37 PM
