Greetings, I went to WRI (Mcguire, AFB) to get a shot of the RAF E-3 (UK's version of our AWACS). Unfortunately it landed just before sunset so my shots suffered to do a lack of light. But at least it was gotten.

Thanks guys. On to the next plane!

Matt, Mark,
I have never been a fan of CFM engines on DC-8s and 707s. The good tying is they have given given extra years to airframes that would have been gone a long time ago.

Pratt JT3D-3 all the way
