A view you dont see every day, over buckingham palace.

A Corporal Scott Robertson snapped this view from the cockpit as military planes flew over Buckingham Palace to mark the Queen's birthday.

This is the USAF E-8A JStars, as it passes over my house on final approach to Hanscom Air Force Base in Bedford Massachusetts. Sorry for the angle, but my house is on the extended centerline, and when I heard this plane making its procedure turn inbound, I had only 15 seconds or so to grab the camera and shoot.

Might be a RC-135V Rivet Ace or Rivet Joint a/c. JSTARS of all variants have a froward lower fuselage "canoe". Hanscoms always got some funky -135's with really wierd growths in and out weekly. This ones got a SLAR setup like the newer AWACS and the RC's

Yes indeed, I agree with you on, but since this is N404PA - it is the 707. Besides the way the house shakes when this puppy is on approach at about 1200 ft (pattern altitude), that confirms it! <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />



BTW, I thought there were only 2 of these in existence, are there more than that?

One of those Raytheon jobs huh? The old TF33's dont help the shaking either.



This was a former Pan Am bird and bought by your USAF as a test bed and used by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Lincoln Labs.



A buddies of mine is a Capt at HAFB fire and told me they try to avoid these birds when they come in, lots of nasty ELINT stuff.

That is a nicer photo that mine, where was that taken? Is that an approach to Hanscom?

From a friend who does serious plane spotting. Just checked his database and found it.

Up next from my Mil Air collection is a US Marines C-130T from Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron 234 --- VMGR-234 MAG-41 (MAW-4) NAS Ft Worth TX, on a six mile final to runway 29 at Hanscom Air Force Base.



This photo was taken last fall as I was covering a high school soccer game, and I know I should have gotten some blur in the props, but I was shooting the game and this came by quickly.
