More C130s at IFP

[NIKV69]

Well the Marines were in town last couple of days. I believe this guys were from Miramar. Rumor has it they were with the Raiders VMGR352 but they had this flag sticking through the top of the fuselage of a Skull & Crossbones. I thought they had a different logo?

Anway one departed and the other I caught on the tarmac. At least these regis will be a big easier than the last one I saw here. Oh yea a Transavia SY lease took off and I snapped that too. All in all a nice morning on the Colorado River. Oh yea look for the Blackhawk which was parked too.

Sweet shots Nick!! I'm jealous of the Transavia - I'm trying to catch that at PBI as well...

[PhilDernerJr]

Nick while you were shotting C130's a IFP.....Air Force One was at LAS in ideal light...

Air Force One was at LAS in ideal light...



Yea I saw GW land on the news last night. He had lunch at Sheldon Adelson's house today and took off in the PM I think. Light would not have been that ideal. I considered driving up but stayed local. Besides IFP is inviting John McCain to a big Bullhead function in 3 weeks and a few others later on so he will prob fly into IFP on Air Force one when he is president. :mrgreen:

That USN C-130 has 4 tanks..I wonder what the range of that aircraft is!

nick, a skull and crossbone flag belongs to first recon (see image below), though they wear it as a unit patch. the flag, well that may just be the crew's doing.

did you manage to get a better shot of the lovely blackhawk that's in the background of the second pic?

Ohh yes, The mighty Kilroy, you mean they let him stop playing with models long enough to go shoot it? That's fine I got my Tristar, my winter is complete.
