Random aviation photos

From one of my groups today. Eagles heading to TLP. This one suffered what looks like an oops.

Oops? Is it the missile on th right of the cockpit? Otherwise... this is a beautiful pic👍👏👏

Edit: what's TLP?

NATO Tactical Leadership Program.

They don't normally carry travel pods on the aft stations, so when they do it looks like the front hook released when it hasn't.

Next up..
Today's pics.. well the last 2 weeks.

We have a diverted flight to Dulles into Pittsburgh, some sky in my backyard and DAMNIT I hate when I'm half asleep.. Standby!

Edit! Ah yes the Mark Cuban 767 (all first class) transporting the Texas Rangers for this week game against the Pirates.
Pirates lost as usual.
Did I mention the A380 flying over due to storms at Dulles... Yep! I sucked up a we bit of fabric. It was HUGE!!!

I'll see your fancy ass 767, and raise you a Q400 vs fuel truck.

Here is a New Concept Aiecraft Design that looks interesting .......


This future aircraft design concept for supersonic flight over land comes from the team led by the Lockheed Martin Corporation. The team used simulation tools to show it was possible to achieve over-land flight by dramatically lowering the level of sonic booms through the use of an “inverted-V” engine-under wing configuration. Other revolutionary technologies help achieve range, payload and environmental goals. This concept is one of two designs presented in April 2010 to the NASA Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate for its NASA Research Announcement-funded studies into advanced supersonic cruise aircraft that could enter service in the 2030-2035 time-frame.

What the hell did that hit??

That Dash or Saab is Toast for a week..( damn that's bad ).

No foam unless attached to the outlet..

a reply to: Bigburgh

They were on the taxiway, and the fuel truck drove into them. According to a passenger, it hit the front, then came around and hit the back.

If once is good enough, two should be even better, right??

Visitors to Phoenix last week, on their way home from the Carl Vinson.

Five squadrons total went through on their way to the West Coast. They went through four or five airports.

I was wondering what the status on the change over was. Looking forward to another Wings over Pittsburgh.
