Re: GESO: Antarctic Planes
Interesting stories, must have been fun wrangling a camera with those g-forces :) I'd be interested to see/hear an A400M some day. My wife's father used to be in the Air Force and she's flown in the C-130 as a passenger. She said you wouldn't want to forget your ear plugs. She also remarked that if you took the wings off a C-130 it'd probably fit inside the C-17... but the Emirates 777 that pulled up at the international terminal seemed to dwarf even that!

Re: OT: Naked Beauty
Cool shot of a lovely flying machine. As you probably know, the Phantom is the only A/C used by both the Blue Angels and the Air Force Thunderbirds. In the mid-1970s, after the Thunderbirds had transitioned from the Phantom to the T-38 Talon, McDonnell-Douglas made a documentary about the F-4 titled *Once a Thunderbird*. I managed to get my hands on it a couple times for classroom use. The air-to-air sequences are special. If you are ever able to get hold of a copy and view it, you'll have about 30-40 minutes of pulse quickening. -p On 10/5/2014 7:28 AM, Daniel J.

Re: Naked Beauty
Didn't know an F4 could go ballistic. When I worked in St Louis, it was right next to the airport, that McDonnel Douglas flew out of, and occasionally when they flew military equipment, in order to reduce the noise in the surrounding community, their planes would go ballistic over the airport - it always stopped me dead in my tracks to watch the spectacle.
