Godzilla Posted August 8, 2004 Posted August 8, 2004 Well I got some pictures. Now my camera is a Fuji S602. I will post pics from my buddy's Canon Eos Rebel which is way better than my camera. Quote
Godzilla Posted August 8, 2004 Author Posted August 8, 2004 Ok. I will post more after some editing.... I forgot I put my pics that damn big. I need to edit my friend's as well. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 I'll be waiting. BA #7 is one of the very few B-model Hornets the Navy has. VFA-125's about the only other user of them. Quote

Zentrandude Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 cool its the same plane on my painting. even has the f-14 a on it Quote
USMCBebop Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 (edited) (In regards to the Tomcat and Intruder. . .) Great pics of GRUMMAN birds at a BOEING site! Edited August 10, 2004 by USMCBebop Quote
KingNor Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 was there any though going on to put the a-10 in with a pair of p-51's? seems kinda random (cool tho) are the mustangs and warthog somehow related? Quote
David Hingtgen Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 (edited) Ah, THAT Tomcat. One of the very few museum F-14's that actually did fly with the squadron it's painted as. (90% of all F-14's in museums wear either VF-2, VF-41, or VF-84 markings, even if they didn't fly with them). Though it didn't fly with VF-84 in the configuration it's currently in. (It's in final 1990+ config, not 70's/80's when it was with the Jolly Rogers) That F-14 is very famous--it is the subject of the famous painting, and was about the most-filmed plane in "The Final Countdown". Note that I can't find any reference to it being AJ202 as painted, only AJ204 and 206. Will have to watch movie more closely, see if I can find which it was marked up as then. As for P-51 and A-10: simply becuase they're the most common planes at airshows. If there's more types, you'll get a bigger formation. PS--font's all wrong for the "VF-84" and bureau number. Not that BOEING cares about how Grumman painted up their planes. Edited August 10, 2004 by David Hingtgen Quote
