I have several lined up but I have no wish to be called a "hog" as happened via a PM a while back.

You go for it,

I'll step in while you two are arguing the toss. :)

Nice photo:

No toss being argued.

I think I see RCAF Neptunes - five in a row too.

I knew that would be easy. RCAF Comox on Vancouver Island, where the Snowbirds do their Spring Training.


Slb has the con.

I just looked for Neptune bases and the pic came up quickly.

At last the thread is moving again.

Thanks

My challenges don’t tend to last long.
Perhaps this one?

An obvious search.

Thought it was Frankfurt, but now found another view and it's Orly.

Orly indeed.
Over to you. Dook

Long Tieng, Laos aka LS20A. "Secret" home of General Vang Pao and the CIA backed Air America.

Open house.

Curses! If I had taken more than a cursory look at dook’s photo, I would have spotted the mountain at the end of the runway.

Long Tieng is on my bucket list of places to visit, mainly because of having read “Flying through Midnight” by John T. Halliday. An autobiographical story about flying C-123s in Laos, which culminates in an emergency NORDO letdown into the jagged karst terrain surrounding Long Tieng, on a dark moonless night and then successfully landing on the unlit runway, not knowing if they would be shot for landing at a forbidden “non-existent” base. Gripping reading.

Nice shooting Cubs2jets.

Long Tieng it is - a very interesting history. An airfield that never was.

OH has been called.

Beautiful plane
congratulations if it is your own.
Built 1942; modern?
G-registration
Is from one of your Brexit trips to France?

nvubu 30th May 2019 09:17

Yes, lovely aircraft
Not my own, I'm self loading like yourself.
Modern photo :) My more usual challenges are historic ones.
Not in France.

I first learnt to fly on a Tiger in 1965.

My instructor said "if you can slow roll a Tiger you can slow roll anything" - he was right.

Are these photos taken at a fly-in or rally in the UK ?

Kemble or maybe Cosford ?

dook 30th May 2019 10:44

Another shot - Scone ?
