Mirage F-1 "ΤΑΛΩΣ" special scheme walkaraound
Hi everyone!
The Mirage F-1 "ΤΑΛΩΣ" (Talos) was a commemorative and very charming scheme applied to HAF's Mirage F-1 s/n 129 sometime around 2000 or tad later, if memory serves... In Greek mythology, Talos was a giant [...]
Mirage F.1CG Walkaround
Hi everyone!
Here are a few mostly close-up shots of two HAF Mirage F.1CGs.
The HAF Mirage F.1CGs equipped the 342 and 334 All Weather Squadrons. A peculiarity of the HAF F.1CG was that they used the American Sidewinder air-to-air missile. [...]

C-47 Walkaround
Hi everyone!
I had the chance to spend some time near HAF's C-47, s/n KK156. This was one the last flying HAF C-47s, meticulously maintained, its last flight taken place sometime in 2005.
Since then, it resides in 114CW, Tanagra, my Base, [...]
Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet Walkaround

Enjoy the pictures.

F2H-2P Banshee walk around photos.
Good news! The Banshee is back on the main floor at Pensacola. Here’s some photos I just took. We’re waiting for the Blue Angels practice now.
Waco CG-4 glider on display at Cradle of Aviation museum.
Going with the D-Day theme, I think that I'd rather jump out of a perfectly good aircraft then take a ride in one of these.
T-41 Mescalero Walk Around
The subject of these photos is probably a little obscure, but there have been a couple of T-41 models from Minicraft, PM, and others. My wife was a military instructor pilot who was assigned from 1986 to 1990 at Hondo Airfield just west [...]
Naked T-38
In 1990, I was an instructor pilot and wing staff officer assigned to Randolph AFB in San Antonio, Texas. At the time, the wing was flying T-37's and T-38's. I was on my way back from a meeting and happened to pass the wing paint shop [...]
