I was in Alaska last month for my son's retirement ceremony (Air Force) and caught a few Raptors landing. Also saw this AWACS from Oklahoma.

Geez, they get any more blades on those props and they'll be solid disks!
Mammatus - my favorite clouds, but that's from a ground-dweller...

Boobie clouds.
No pics but just saw four V-22 Ospreys fly by the house. They were booking west.
Which variant of the Herc is that?Quote:

It is a 1994 H3 model. They used to have four silver aluminum blades and the J Models (they came out in 1996) have 6 blades. The very first A models and a few Bs had 3 bladed props. I have never seen a 3 blade prop in person.Quote:

You wont see any more of the older 4 blade hurks anymore. The props got old and started having issues like blades coming off inflight. That is not good.
Please let the Marines know if any of you have a picture of their missing F-35. ;)

I'm starting to think that F35 Pilots have the most experience ejecting compared to any other fighter jet.Quote:
