I really hate to see aircraft in this condition, but there is
a lot of history here.
- Grumman E-2B Hawkeye
- Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron (VAW-88) "Cottonpickers" - Lockheed EC-130Q Hercules
- Fleet Air Reconnaissance Squadron FOUR (VQ-4) "Shadows"
- Stored at WIA for the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). - Alenia C-27A Spartan
- 310th Airlift Squadron/24th Wing, Howard AFB, Panama
- Stored at WIA for the US State Department, Patrick AFB, FL (assigned civil number of N22888).
Interesting info on that C-27 being part of the DOS AirWing. Wonder if they were going to modify them into spray aircraft like the OV-10s.

Some A-10's caught into & out of DM this afternoon.
Ever-so-slightly different angle than the one James posted in the C-130 thread. At first I thought this was one of the local CSAR birds, then I saw it was much lighter and thought it might be a white Coast Guard one. So I'm thinking "AWESOME!," because when do we ever see USCG Herks in Arizona? Then as it got closer and I saw it was totally bare-metal, I got even more excited, because when do we ever see bare-metal C-130s anywhere? Blah blah blah, here's the darned photo:

It certainly was the icing that day, nice shot Joe.
Here's my contribution on the naked C-130. As you can see, she was already starting to pass when I finally got my camera/lens working properly. I guess that gives my shot a different perspective than the others.
It was cool to see this, you don't see bare-metal C-130s very often.

Wow - had a great day in Tucson again, shooting with Ned, James & Joe. We got to enjoy quite the A-10 festival, with a Compass Call thrown in for a cake topper.
This USAF Special Ops Command Pilatus PC-12/47 was photographed today coming into Davis-Monthan AFB around noon.
This image is from the Guardrail site.
Wow, nice catch there Ned. Interesting that it still has the N-number instead of a typical U-28 serial like most. They come in all sorts of paint schemes from wild to o.d. grey and lumpy-bumpy. Well-done!

Nice. My shot of the SP A-10 is blech unless you're into backside shots (oh I'm setting up a joke for someone...).

Poor Little S3s...
I think an S3 Viking would make a nice Biz Jet.
It was a good day at DM today. This is a Barksdale A-10 now assigned to DM as part of the ANG/AFRC Test Center. More of today's images are posted on my flickr site.
Finally caught a Customs UH-60 in good light today:

Ned,
That's a nice one. Tack sharp and good prop blur.
Dave
Thanks Dave. It looks like our local HC-130P aircraft now have FT tail codes.
I noticed that too Ned. Puzzling since "FT" is a Moody AFB tailcode (stands for "Flying Tigers"). I poked around online and it looks like those Herks belong to the 563rd Rescue Group, which is a Geographically-Separated Unit of Moody's 23rd Wing. That would make this a 79th RQS bird.

C'mon down Mitchell. Give us a ring before you do and either Ned or I can try to meet up with you. Couple of visiting units here atm besides the normal players. Fun stuff. :-)
Belly shot, nice and dirty just like a Hawg should be.

You guys down in Tucson are having entirely too much fun! I get Kitfox .. You get Rhino!
(Why do you suppose they put someone in the pit for these test hops? The electronics are mostly removed aren't they?)
I'd imagine there's some kind of raffle.
I'm actually only half-kidding on that.

I really hope I can get down there before they head back to Ohio.

Nothing else had arrived when I left a !:00pm. Some more Tornados were supposed to come. Ned was still there when I left maybe he saw more RAF aircraft.
I stayed until 2:00 and there were no additional RAF aircraft.

Dang Bill, is there anything normal in the air lately?!?!?!?!?!
I heard the T-34 called out on the DM tower freq today and I assumed they were mistaken or drunk. I guess it was real...
Very cool catch on the 'shooters' range control bird.
I've been wanting to catch this one for a while.
Nice mix of different birds Bill.
You need to do some dust spot cleanup though and maybe back off on the sharpening just a little.
You've got some very crispy lines and some halos around the edges.
A-10 (80-0155) landing at DM on 2-19-10. This is the first time I have seen this aircraft. It is one of the twelve A-10Cs that recently returned from Afghanistan. Note the green landing gear door and the cargo pods.

Anybody know if the second RAF Tornado Squadron came to D-M this week?
Bill, I've been told by a British friend that it might just be a crew swap with the airframes already at D-M instead of a different batch of aircraft. Flightaware shows them operating down there still using the "ICE" callsign, so it might be worth a trip out to see if they're the same jets.
I am pretty sure the crew swap happened. I saw a VC10 depart yesterday (heading northwest) in the crummy weather. There was a TriStar as well, but I am not sure when it departed--I think during the night.

They'll be common down there soon enough. The 425th is moving from Luke to TIA pretty shortly here. (Anyone know the date yet?).
82nd ATRS bird in the "Egypt One" scheme - my personal favorite. I'm guessing this was an alternate/back-up F-4 for the Heritage Flight conference, as it doesn't appear to have flown in any of the practice formations.

Nice shots.
BTW - how many MD-11's are in the tanker fleet because I didnt know they served as them.
We have quite a few but they are called KC-10's as a tanker
Thanks, just curious as I have never seen one before.
They are a very impressive aircraft. BTW they are built off of the DC-10 airframe not the MD-11.

Nice catch Joe. This guy was a long way from home. When Susie and I lived in Virginia, we'd take the ferry over to Cape May and we'd see the Jersey Devil Vipers streaking down the beach. The people from Wildwood to Cape May loved the impromptu airshows, us included.

Very good catch Ned. The right place at the right time
As Block 30's go, this is one of the "newer" ones. I'd be surprised if she was heading to the boneyard this soon. They just started retiring FY85 Block 30's.
On a side note, I am supremely jealous that you caught this bird!!! Great shot and that tail is darn near day-glo.
What an outstanding day for you Ned!
Here's a 'hawg with no squadron markings. I love when they fly shallower approaches:

Looks like they had to throw on some end panels on the stab and find a bunch of access covers just to get it to AMARG...
Is DM still open? Or what's the deal on that?
Today I had a NASA 377SGT-F Super Guppy at DM.
He actually took off and landed from the opposite direction than normal air traffic.
Though he snuck up on me, I didn't let him get away. ;D

Sitting in front of Ops, not sure if it's a gas-n-go or what. Nose isn't open and I'd hate to think that was a last go round the pattern before going into AMARG.
They should clear this kind of stuff with us dang it all!!!
The nose is open and lots of people running around. I watched but saw nothing come out. There is a large load of cargo sitting on the ramp though. Hope she stays overnight.
Wonder if AMARG has some odd-sized piece of sumpn' to go who-knows-where?
Here are a couple of mine of the Aero Spacelines 377SGT Super Guppy.

Hey,
Finally got around to sorting some images out, starting with some older ones first from last March for the heritage conference, which being a newbie to the area etc I did not know this was happening, anyway it was a nice suprise, best of what I have got as I also did not know where to go so was stood on the mound by the Pima museum.

This one is still an unmodified RF-4C. They only become QF-4s (or in this case, QRF-4s) after the drone pack has been installed by BAe Systems out at Mojave.

Solid Guppy image Ned and the two Phantoms were a bonus I must say.
I was on AMARG tour yesterday and I also visited DM base with my friend from England, there was a C-17 or C-5 on the ramp at DM and took off late afternoon, did anyone capture it or knows the serial please, my friend would be very grateful.

Great capture Ned! The detail is tremendous on this Hog and he even has a few goodies slung under the wings. With all the rain you've got in Tucson the past few days, I was wondering if you had to trade your Mark IV for a canoe? Remember, your Mark IV is weather-sealed and can probably take more "weather" than most folks would consider (http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/600984/1892#9904373)

According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convair_XC-99), the Convair XC-99 has been transferred to Davis-Monthan to be stored in a less damaging environment.
QuoteIn an effort to protect the aircraft, in the summer of 2011, a decision was made by the restoration staff to move the disassembled XC-99 to the Military Air Transport Service storage facility at Davis–Monthan Air Force Base, near Tucson, Arizona.[7] The XC-99 will remain at Davis–Monthan Air Force Base, in an area containing other aircraft belonging to the Museum, until the restoration staff has the time and resources to perform a full restoration.
Has anyone heard anything about it coming to D-M?

Great shot of a very cool aircraft!
Thanks Scott!
EC-121K - BuNo 137890, July 1979
The light was really terrible today, but I snagged a few shots of the arriving Columbian Air Force Kfirs and a departing 727. At least those watching for them will know what they look like! I saw a 707 arrive, as well--but I didn't get good shots of it. It is grey ;)

Scott: We believe they will be here this week and next.
So how many KFIRs came in? Anyone have any idea yet on their flying schedule?
Bill: I believe all the Columbian Air force aircraft are here now. There are 8 KFIRs, one of which is a two-seater, one 727, one K-707 tanker and one K-767 tanker. No idea about when they will be flying but we believe they are here until the end of next week.
Great grabs Ned!

Gorgeous Ned! I especially like the shot of Kfir 3057 and the RAF C-17. The light reflecting off the ground is really nice. Which of your bodies did you take those with?
Scott: All of today's images were with my 1DMkIV body and the Canon 100-400.
Ned, I thought they looked a little too creamy for a 7D. The Mark IV is the best all around body I've ever owned. Thanks.

I really enjoyed my 1st trip to Tucson to shoot at DM. Thanks for being my wingman Joe. Without your help I surely would have become trapped in the vortex of asphalt known as the Tucson street system ;D
It was also great fun to meet-up and shoot with Harvey, Chris, Bill, and Barry. Ned, I'm sorry we missed each other - I'll definitely be back. There are a few more items I want to try on the menu at Luke's Italian Beef.
As I've been playing with my images, I've noticed that some of the Kfir's and A-10's returned to DM with what appears to be unused ordinance. For example, the Kfir below looks like it has a couple of large noise-makers hanging under the delta wing. My A-10 image above looks like there are a couple of missiles on the hangers. Is that normal? I always assumed they used all their ordinance at the range and came home empty. Please educate this old fat man. Thanks in advance.

Solid shot, Jeff.
It's very normal for A-10s to return to DM with ordnance. I noticed the Dummy Mk. 82s on the Kfirs, as well as the practice bomb units. Looks like some are carrying some type of ECM pod as well.
The "missles" on the A-10 are captive, inert Mavericks, usually one IR and one Laser-guided so they can practice locking up targets on the ranges with them.
Was great shooting with you yesterday, and thanks again for driving.
Wow Jeff, that is a NICE shot! Love that engine exhaust. I suppose these aircraft will be flying on to Nellis soon.
Nice shots guys - they turned out well.
Backlit--but that's when he wanted to leave!

Ned, Congratulations on your 1000th post! Beautiful C-32 shot, super clean machine!
IT'S BEACON!
Solid shot, congrats on the 1k mark.
Definitely a fine shot, Ned. I thought I heard something "special" arrive--but I couldn't figure out what it was.
This left a bit later in the day. The camo seems to be rather appropriate here!

Had an Arizona National Guard UH-60 working out of DMAFB today. Quite a show. Quite frequently, it was too close for the 70mm focal length of my 70-300mm. I wish that would happen more often.

I should have titled it "Chain Link Fence with Albatross in Background". Doesn't Adobe have a chain link fence removal tool yet? Might come in handy at Gateway.

Still good stuff at DMAFB.
Golden Hour BOOBS
Hahahaaa.. Nice catch there John. Reminds me of using a calculator and typing in 58008, many many years ago.
The parade of Heavies/Airliners continues at DMAFB :) I am dreading the end of this streak, but I am rather liking it for now. It is so unusual that I am perfectly happy to photograph daily AirTran 737 flights!

Pretty shot, Kaspar. Especially for such a grimy, grey airplane!
Two more airliners departing Davis-Monthan yesterday. I think with these two, DMAFB has overtaken Tucson International Airport in the number of traveling passengers that have passed through its terminal! ;D

Not a bad send-off, Harry. Respectable amounts of rotor blur on those -53s too!
Nice images. Good luck with your move.

Wow Ned, that came out pretty good given the light situation.
Yeah, a little more light would have been good. About 30 seconds after it landed the sun came out again!

Looks like a standard LAU-131, only with extended tubes. The 2.75" rockets have a variety of warheads, some of them much longer than others. My hunch is that this launcher was either built or adapted to accommodate rockets with the longer warheads.
I found this budget summary outlining the acquisition of a bunch of ordnance for the Air Force, including "LAU-131 Extended Length Launchers," for the Advanced Precision Kill Weapons System, which is the fancy name for laser-guided 2.75" rockets. LAU-131 info on page 7: http://www.dtic.mil/descriptivesum/Y2012/AirForce/0604602F_5_PB_2012.pdf
Thanks Joe. Looks like the right answer to me. I'm surprised we didn't see it first on one of the Test Center A-10s.

I'm sure this was tested out at Eglin or Nellis by the active-duty test guys first. Wouldn't be surprised if we start seeing it on the AATC birds though.

Great catch Bill! :)
The State Department has an "Air Wing?" Really? :-X
Department of State Air Wing
In 1978, the Bureau for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) formed an office to use excess military and government aircraft for support of foreign nations' counter-narcotics operations. The first aircraft used was a crop duster used for eradication of illicit crops in Mexico in cooperation with the local authorities. The separate Air Wing was established in 1986 as use of aviation assets grew in the war on drugs.
The aircraft fleet grew from crop spraying aircraft to larger transports and helicopters used to support ground troops and transport personnel. As these operations became more involved in direct combat, a further need for search and rescue and armed escort helicopters was evident. Operations in the 1980s and 1990s were primarily carried out in Colombia, Guatemala, Peru, Bolivia and Belize. Many aircraft have since been passed on to the governments involved, as they became capable of taking over the operations themselves.
Following the events of the September 11 attacks, and the subsequent war on terror, the Air Wing went on to expand their operations from mainly anti-narcotics operations to also support security of United States nationals and interests, primarily in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Safe transport for various diplomatic missions were undertaken, requiring the acquisition of larger aircraft types, such as Sikorsky S-61, Beechcraft King Air and De Haviland DHC-8-300. Armed escorts were also increased using various helicopters fitted as gunships.
In 2011, the Air Wing was operating more than 230 aircraft around the world, the main missions still being counter narcotics and transportation of state officials.
Super catch, Bill.
Great catch Bill. Sorry I had to miss this one.
Thanks for the comments fellas, much appreciated

For a time, DOS Air Wing was one of the world's largest operators of OV-10s, using de-militarized OV-10Ds and upgraded OV-10Gs for counternarcotics work in Colombia and Ecuador. They're out of the OV-10 business now, but still have a pretty robust Air Wing. The two C-9s in active storage at Willie were supposed to be going to the DOS Air Wing, and the civvie-reg CH-46s that have come through have also been DOS birds.
Awesome catch, Bill. Wondering how much longer these will be around. Maintenance nightmares, from what I've read.
Thanks Joe

Someone needs to take a bulldozer to those two C-9s' parked at Gateway and just scrap them - make these government dipsticks fly coach on United or someone else.

Hey, Bill ..... Tucson has suddenly come alive with some terrific arrivals. Congrats on nailing them so well!
Thanks, Bear

Sometimes I have to remind myself how blessed we aviation photographers are in Arizona. Like many of you, I have friends outside of AZ that can't believe the opportunities we get on a regular basis. Tucson is alive with Angel Thunder goodies; Willie is having a festival of Harriers, F-5's & T-45's; and that is just this weekend. Always something fun happening. Well done Bill.

Bill, your C5 and Prowler shots are very nice, the clouds with the C5 and the rear quartering shot on the Prowler.
Bill: I really love your Prowler image. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Ned, He made his final approach by turning short and this was the best side shot.

Nice shot Bill! I happened to be getting gas just east of DM on my way back to Yuma from Santa Fe. By the time I realized who was on final, it was too late to dig out the camera and swap lenses - glad you got the shot!
Thanks, Mike

Nice shot of the good 'ol F4. This one is showing 4 MIG kills. Very cool.
Thanks Harvey. Unfortunately, the BuNo on the aircraft is not correct. This is not even a USAF F-4 it's an F-4N. The original one is listed as being turned into a target.
LOL. The T-38 mounted across from the FBO at Willie is a former Navy bird as well.
Just goes to show you, never buy a used jet from the military without running a "jet fax" to make sure it is what it is claimed to be and look for accidents or repairs. Buyer beware!

Very nice photo Ned, sad to know what happens next for this C-5. I'll bet these crews get a bit emotional when walking away after that last landing.

A busy day for Sierra Pacific...
Nice catch John. These older 737-200's are some of my favorite commercial aircraft. IMO, those long/skinny Pratt & Whitney engines really add to the aesthetics. Still looking good after 30 years of service. I wish I could say the same for myself ;)
Likely my research is in error, but it looks like FlightAware thinks this plane hasn't flown since 2006?
Thanks Jeff!
It is just FlightAware being goofy. I have pictures back to 2010 and quite a few Azappers have photographed this and N703S (the other Sierra Pac 737).
However, according to the internets, Sierra Pacific has acquired a 737-500. So, we might soon be seeing the last flights for these 200s. :(

BULLDOG OFF TO THE FIGHT.
First of all, thanks to Rene for the Heads up on the Bulldogs departure this morning. Based upon previous deployments I expected them to go about 0730 with the sunrise at 0712. I went early to be sure I didn't miss anything. I stopped briefly at the gas station at the corner of Kolb and Valencia to wait for the first hint of light and to minimize my exposure to base security personnel. I soon heard some unknown whistling sounds which I finally realized were A-10s departing in the total darkness. It was 38 minutes prior to sunrise when the last A-10 went past me. I had cranked my ISO up to 12,800 and was panning with the noise in near total darkness. If you stare at this image long enough you convince yourself that it is indeed an A-10. I then drove down to Wilmot and crossed my fingers hoping for second pulse. Walt Thomas showed up about that time and we were rewarded with a small group of aircraft deploying at sunrise. I'll post those images later.

Here is one of the Bulldogs A-10s from the second cell. The sun had not yet risen above the Rincon mountains.

+1 John. I remember as a kid going on maneuvers with Dad to Mountain Home AFB. Although they didn't have F-15's then. These poor guys are not picking the best of times to trade their base of operations from Idaho to Arizona; even if it is a short stay ;)
Thanks, Joe and Jeff. It was a good time of day to return to DM.
Jeff: They are only here from North Carolina until the end of June.
I caught this today. I am unsure if it is related to the wrap-up of Angel Thunder or perhaps foreshadowing future Snowbird activity--or neither.

I think this is the same bird Harvey caught at Luke recently, perhaps they're getting serious about the F-35? Angel Thunder also has nations that send observers to check out the exercise to see if they want to participate, so they may have been doing some of that too. Cool catch regardless.
Enjoying having the Strike Eagles around ;D

Hi Jeff, it has been 30 years since I was in the boneyard. We rode down in an AF bus that the A/C wasn't working. Coming home at 1 pm with no A/C at all and the bus had to stop 4 times along the highway to reset an alarm that was triggered by something in the engine bay. It took 3 an a half hours to get home along with being stuck in stop and go traffic through central Phoenix. The kids put the windows down and it felt like they were checking to see if the cookies in the oven were done. Never again on an AF bus, the same thing happened to me about three years ago going to Gila Bend ranges with another squadron, I should have learned back then. :-\

The backseater in the A-29 in this shot was an Air Force A-10 instructor pilot who had earned a DFC in Afghanistan for saving a MARSOC team from being overrun, then went on to be part of a Mobile Training Team to help the Colombian Air Force refine their attack aviation doctrine and prepare them for participation in Red Flag, Maple Flag, and Angel Thunder. He started 2014 in the back seats of Colombian OV-10s and A-29s, and ended it as an F-35 pilot and weapons officer for the 61st FS out at Luke. Whatever complaints people may have about the F-35, the involvement of dudes like this in the program is a good sign that the Air Force is at least trying to bring some solid CAS/FAC/CSAR corporate knowledge into the JSF community.

Love those old Sikorsky H-34s. I remember seeing Navy and Marine Corps versions flying low over Pacific Beach and in Oceanside. There was one from China Lake that stopped at Sky Harbor when it was still legal to step foot on the flight line.
Agreed. In my opinion one of the most photogenic helicopters out there - even as a derelict, broken hulk, it still looks good.

From the S-3 arrival... It avoided a long final approach, so it stayed quite a distance away from where I was staked out. If not for the "Harvest Hawk" floating around at the same time it all might have been disappointing!

Nice catches Ned
^^^^ I concur with Bill, very nice catch on the Sherpa Ned. This is one of two Sherpas that Scott Youmans and I have photographed the past two weekends at Coolidge - http://azaerophoto.com/forum/index.php?topic=18.msg61926#msg61926. The FAA registry shows it is owned by the "Law Enforcement Support Office" in Battle Creek, Michigan. It has a decal on the side (below the cockpit window) saying is an asset used by the Richland County Sheriff's Department in South Carolina and last Saturday German special forces were jumping out of it at Coolidge. Go figure ???
Jeff:
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing the info.
It is operated by Win Win Aviation of DeKalb IL obtained by a trade along with another Sherpa with Richland County Sheriff's Department in South Carolina for a Cessna 206.

Thanks for the additional information Bill. I'm still scratching my head why airplanes registered to a law enforcement group in Michigan, once operated by a South Carolina County Sheriff, and now operated by another group in IL is doing in Coolidge with German military jumping out of it? Oh well, I'm just glad these odd birds are around for us to photograph.

Spent some time in Tucson this week with Ned and Paul Dunn. When the Strike Eagles returned from the first sortie of the day, one aircraft declared an IFE and held over the mountains with his wingman until all other aircraft recovered. He successfully engaged the arresting cable (accompanied by a shower of sparks, see attached image below), and the runway was back in use by the time we got back from a quick lunch over at Luke's.

I saw this guy fly over Phoenix earlier today - around 2:15pm. He was heading north.......almost like he was flying towards Nellis.
Fantastic shot John! And it did go to Nellis. And as I'm typing this he is over Colorado heading back east.
I saw he dropped into Nellis AFB and I was wondering where he was going next. I am surprised he is already moving again, but it is the weekend so they probably want to get home (or at least to Gander or somewhere east).

An immersive 360° aerial over the 'boneyard' captured October, 2015.
Of interest is the placement of the tail sections of the B-52s. As part of the 1991 START (Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty) between Russia and the US the tail sections of the decommissioned B-52s are to be placed at a 30 degree angle to and aft the remaining portion of the aircraft and left for at least 60 days. This serves to allow the Russians to verify by satellite that the aircraft had been destroyed.

Awesome catch Paul! I wonder what that pod is.
Thank you Jonathan. From surveillane aircraft I have seen and you probably have seen also, this has a feature of being maybe some type of a surveillance pod. Only a guess however, as I have not seen this type of pod before.
They use this aircraft for chase duties, so it could simply be a turret-mounted camera pod to record flight test missions.

They on there way to the boneyard?
The most recent info I found shows these Prowlers as being active, but that information was current as of Oct. 2017 well before these Prowlers landed at KDMA yesterday. The VMAQ-3 "Moon Dogs" until being decommissioned in June 2018 remain at the ready as far as I know.
This was the final flight of both of these aircraft.

I heard a rumor that Friday, March 22nd will not be a practice day at D-M. Is there any truth to that?
QuoteI heard a rumor that Friday, March 22nd will not be a practice day at D-M. Is there any truth to that?
I would think that wouldn't be the case. Maybe some civilian performers won't practice but I can't imagine the Thunderbirds would not practice. I'll ask around and keep my eye out for the TFR when it gets posted.

Superb captures of those Dutch F-35A s, Paul.
Reference the rumor about no practice on March 22 for the DM air show seem to be false. The NOTAMs for DM were just published and there is a TFR for Fri, Sat, and Sun. There is also one for Thursday at 1250 pm which would indicate the Thunderbirds arrival.

Nice, Ned. That's the third or fourth C-32 that I've seen lately with the two SATCOM domes (instead of just one or no domes).

"Nice catch Paul, a pretty rare bird." Thank you Harvey. I appreciate the kind words. The record breaking heat this year and I know for you guys especially has really been a serious problem. We were very lucky for these aircraft to have come in to DM which made the heat conditions really worth all the efforts for photographing. Stay cool and be safe.
Just an FYI. The popular spotting location east of the air museum on the southwest corner of Valencia and Wilmot is being fenced off. I guess something is going to be built on the lot just don?t know what.

Ned, your capture of the Atlas Air 747-400 arriving at DM from Andersen AFB, Guam is fantastic. The plans to capture this GTI from different locations and at different altitudes really paid off.
Very nice views and angles on this 747 Paul, you and Ned are killing it at DM.
Always a joy to see small-humped 747s in this day and age. Well-captured all around.
