Aviation Photos - Post your "AirPics" here!
[quote name='Bill Wall' post='136088' date='Aug 2 2007, 09:53 ']Ted , I don't believe so.I took that photo at the 2007 Tyndall AFB Gulf Coast Salute back in March. I copied this off their website USAF QF-4 Phantom II

The 53rd Weapons Evaluation Group (WEG), located at Tyndall AFB, is comprised of five squadrons and two Detachments. One of the most famous aircraft assigned to the squadron is the QF-4 Phantom II. The QF-4 is an F-4 fighter that has been converted into a drone to resemble enemy aircraft. As part of the USAF Heritage Flight program, QF-4s at Holloman AFB and Tyndall AFB have been restored to piloted service and now join active duty front line aircraft and other Air Force vintage aircraft as part of the USAF Heritage Flight at numerous locations across North America............................Bill[/quote]

If you looked at the TV coverage of the race, this EC-130H Compass Call out of the SOG wing @ Harrisburg (if think), was listed as a B-2 Bomber out of the 509th BW @ Whiteman. Funny mix up unless the Air force has Halloween costumes for the Spirit.

Not sure if the complete fly over was shown on TV, the EC-130H (thanks crashresq21) flew down the the front straight-away, and then turned left, out over course, and then came back straight at the crowd when I took the shot posted above.

Grumpy,



The ESPN flyby was an onboard shot as it banked on the base leg from left of the frontstretch then when it was lined up with the stretch headed towrds turn 2 it was a ground to air shot, the usual coverage of a flyby.

I'm taking a ride in September on a B-24 for 425 dollars @ North Central airport in RI, but you can have either a ride in the 17 or the 25 also (tax deductable to boot)
