Hmmm..do you like low flying aircraft?....then here ya go!

F-4 Phantom was indeed a gorgeous plane. An older guy that I know flew those in Vietnam. His comment was that it had a glide slope like a rock without power. His mental decision was that if the plane failed to respond to input, it was time to punch out...

The old F4 was a great looking aircraft for sure. Now if you want to talk about relatively ugly aircraft but only because of their necessary requirements Look no further the the Guppies.

Yes Sir!!

Thanks @Tracer .

It takes a "100 Acre Field" to turn it, but at a little more than 2.5 times the speed of sound it runs off and leaves everything we have today in the dust.



Also found another neat pic - Operation Desert Shield

Looks like one of the S-61Ns owned by Construction Helicopters.

Is that tail number N905CH? Nice paint. https://www.airteamimages.com/sikorsky-s-61_N905CH_columbia-helicopters_251016_large.html

Same tail number, different paint scheme. https://www.planespotters.net/photo/1115190/n905ch-construction-helicopters-sikorsky-s-61n-mkii

Looks like their paint for sure. This is the best frame I could find, does not look like 905.
Unfortunately I was in such a rush I didn’t get zoomed optically.

The data-base of tail numbers is over here and I was hunting for a N7XXCH or a N7 blurry blurryCH. The S-61N list is impressive.

Search Aircraft by Model

It's a good place to grab tail numbers, https://www.airport-data.com/ then jump over to radar and see where we can hear them again. https://www.flightradar24.com/44.51,-76.92/7

There are a couple S-61N's around here and they sound amazing. 8 days ago this showed up online so lots of people felt it coming.

Ran across the corporate headquarters once randomly, some road trip during my college days. I was pumped to see it.

I think it was in Connecticut somewhere.

Curious. Wonder how many state-of-the-art drones we could stockpile for the cost of (1) of the "J" series upgrades?
