Title: Plane
Post by: burrheadcountry on December 04, 2010, 09:34:12 PM: I've been trying to get pictures of this plane for a few months now. It has been doing some touch and go landings on Big Lake. These are a couple that I have taken so far. Feel free to add any plane pictures you have taken.

You flew it or maintained it? Always loved that bird. Is it true that they leaked fuel until they were hauling arse?

Those are sweet planes, that one has a different cockpit configuration than most.

Post by: jeepasaurusrex on December 05, 2010, 04:16:34 PM: Burrhead, that's a Republic SeeBee. Very common amphibious plane that started life just after WW2. The military used them for awhile as the OA-15. The last one was built in 1948. 8)
Title: Re: Plane
Post by: burrheadcountry on December 05, 2010, 04:27:40 PM: Wow. That's some great info. I would have never guessed that plane was built that long ago. Every time I hear it coming I scramble for my camera and run out the door to try to get some pic's but I am usually to late for the best picture opportunities. I want to try and capture it as it hits the water and on take off.

Crew Chief, 1982-1986. If you look closely, you can see a small puddle forming near the right main gear, and another under the inboard main gear doors. They dripped constantly, but especially right before launch when the fuel system was pressurized with liquid nitrogen. We "wore" JP-7 every day, whether we wanted to or not. We called it "Essence of 7".

That is the "B" model, trainer. The aft cockpit had full controls, the instructor sat there.

Post by: woodman on December 05, 2010, 06:29:29 PM: I know this is not a plane, but I thought it was very interesting. While in the woods on a cliff, I watched a crew working on power lines. It was pretty neat to me to watch them from above including the helicopter. It looked like kind of dangerous work including the men in trams riding on the high power lines. I am sure they would love to have the whole series of pics that I have of them.
Title: Re: Plane
Post by: burrheadcountry on December 05, 2010, 10:36:42 PM: This is not a plane but it does relate. I took these up in Metlakatla, Alaska. They have an old abandoned air strip that was built for WWII.

Post by: jeepasaurusrex on December 10, 2010, 01:46:51 PM: Oh yea, that is just a standard issue max performance take off. Believe it or not, the Chinook is the fastest helicopter in the Army. It can cruise along at 170 knots (196mph) while the next fastest is the Apache at 192mph. 8)

Post by: Ironhead on December 12, 2010, 07:45:40 PM: Here are a few different planes we saw while fishing the Nushagak in Alaska this summer.
The first few pics are the Grummond Goose that we flew in on. I believe it was built in the early 1940's. the others are planes we saw while fishing. The plane with Tikchik on the side we actually caught fish under. You can see the pole tip on the left side of the picture.
