Sheldon the Green Sea Turtle
My stupid question for the day: Is his name really Sheldon?
(Totally not being a smart butt here.)
Pretty sure if you asked the turtle what his name was, he would NOT say "Sheldon."
Frontier does that though, they give all the animals on their tails cutesy little names.
For all intents and purposes, you Tucson guys can call him "Samedamn," as in "That's the Samedamn turtle plane we get every day."

My stupid question for the day: Is his name really Sheldon?

Frontier calls them ANIMAL TALES (http://www.frontierairlines.com/frontier/fun-stuff/animal-tales-continued.do) and each one has its own name.
I think I like Samedamn better than Sheldon. Has a bit of a catchy ring to it.
QuoteFrontier calls them ANIMAL TALES and each one has its own name.
Wow, I had no idea. After seeing the other 49 I can see why he's called Samedamn.

Ned,
Those are both nice shots. You caught the top bird in both shots winking at you with the inlet light.
Leave it to the oil rich countries to fly a two seater with only one guy. Maybe he's not a very good pilot, nobody wants to ride with him. How many times have I told these guys, anytime there's an empty seat, give me a call. I guess my free lunch offer just isn't good enough.
A couple of F-16s blasting out of Tucson!

Thanks David. I was thrilled to finally capture this one.
Ned, is the Convair a testbed? Looks like someone found an engine nozzle for the model spare parts box and glued it to the front end. A great shot of a very unusual looking bird.

Does that say "Brig Gen" on that plane?
Welcome to the wonderful world of the Tucson "Flying Club."
Pretty sure you won't see "Rank on the Rail" below Captain (maybe even Light Colonel.)
optical illusion. The wing man is always on the right.
The names on the rails at the 162nd are going to be higher-ranking than w/active-duty units since the Guard is pretty top-heavy with high-time ex-active-duty guys. Lots of Majors, Lt. Colonels, and Colonels. And my understanding is that the Wing Commander's name is on two aircraft - this one, and "El Tigre," the wing flagship.

Nope. Just the customary wave.

The F-16 airframe was designed to only fly 3000 hours. So hitting 5000 hours is an achievement. We have a few now over 6000!

Dude that 757 is a great shot. I really like it. very nice.
Chris,
Nice catches! I was just about to post two nearly identical shots of that Southwest 737 that looks like it has a top turret installed.
So, guess I'll settle for these..
1) Badly needing a new paint job
2) Just like the angle on this one
3) From Ground Control, "Block 60, beware of prop blast from the Cessna."
Dave one thing I've noticed is that we all have pretty much the exact same shots. I guess that's what happens when 5 people that think alike are standing next to each other taking shots of the same thing ;D Doesn't bother me one bit if you post an identical image. We all have our own personal style and every image is unique in it's own way.
As for the "turret" that's the WiFi antenna on top.
Up up and away!

I like the "162nd FW" stencil on the travel pod. Looks like they're absconding with gummint property!
Absolutely love that light Ned.

It was quite a little party. There were at least a dozen people there--maybe a couple more. After today TIA is probably considering installing a 20-foot block wall.

Nope they popped open the moment he touched down which tells me he had them armed and as soon as the WOW switch engaged they deployed. He rode the the mains down the runway for quite a while. Actually it was a very odd landing, he came is super slow and touched down way far down the runway then hot dogged it half the way down before setting the nose down.
Fighter pilot...Air Force Fighter Pilot. ;D
Sounds A LOT like that hairy JPATS 737 that landed long at Tegucigalpa a few years back and almost ran off the runway. Unfortunately, the video of the incident has been deleted from YouTube, but the photo that used to be linked to it (including bickering comments from former employees) can be found here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/msvideopro/3264324474/

HI Everyone
I had some friends visit from the UK last weekend telling that about 40 A-10's from DM were down at Tucson Int, I know it was reported on here about the runway at DM being closed for re-surfacing work but does anyone know when this started, also the A-10's are parked outside the old terminal, hope to get down to get some shots, not been out for ages.
Harry
A-10s started flying out of TIA this week, D-Ms EC-130s began ops out of Gateway as well.
I remember there was some speculation here on the forum about where the AZANG alert F-16s would go. Where did they go?
March seems to be the closest base that supports Noble Eagle missions, and I believe someone on Fencecheck posted a shot of two AZ Vipers flying out of there with live missiles a few weeks back.
QuoteI remember there was some speculation here on the forum about where the AZANG alert F-16s would go. Where did they go?
There are three or four down at the end of taxiway A17 at TUS. A17 is restricted to military aircraft as of last night.
My understanding is that live munitions are prohibited at TIA, which is why the Tucson alert birds stage out of DM.

Both fine catches, Ned. Looks like TIA is suddenly a really hot place to shoot--A-10s, F-16s, airliners, GA. Almost as hot as Willie!
Much, much hotter.
ZERO military stuff at Willie this afternoon, and NOBODY has caught the EC-130s flying.
Solid catches Ned, and both great shots.
QuoteMy understanding is that live munitions are prohibited at TIA, which is why the Tucson alert birds stage out of DM.
This morning at the "last chance" near A-17. There are three F-16s with fuel pods that have what appear to be g suits draped over them, missiles on each wingtip and on hard points under the wings. There are two double wide trailers next to them. I'm not the brightest person but they look like Alert birds to me. No engine run ups are allowed at A-17. That area of the airport is being well protected.

This is the load out of the three. Ill try and get a picture tonight when I go in.
That does sound like it. The banding on the missiles will be the "tell." Brown and yeller = kill a feller.
Wonder if they got a "boom" waiver while the runway's down?
In addition to the A-10s, the Homeland Security aircraft have also moved to TIA while the DM runway is being repaved. This Cessna Citation is painted differently than the others I've seen.

Where abouts were you guys I was just off Valencia took the same shot of the Shorts or as we called them in the UK a shed, some pictures to follow later, it was nice to get out with the camera.

Nicely done, Bill.
Had to hurry to get these shots. I had no time to change shutter speed from 1/1600, but here are some photos of Fifi landing at TIA this afternoon.

Looks like it to me!
Don't they have "snubbers" that arrest wheel spin as the gear is retracting or do they let them spin?
I would think having a tire delaminate in a wheel well would be a very bad thing?
Some planes do it automatically, mostly the jets, and especially the airliners. The snubbers are usually in the Nose wheelwell, since nose gear doesn't have brakes.
Some aircraft like the 737 have shields in the wheelwell in case the tire shreds, to try to prevent it from damaging hydraulic lines, and even structure.
Cool picture of it.

HI Everyone
I have seen reports on a Bristish forum about the Dutch F-16's returning back home, can anyone shed any light on this for me.
Haven't heard anything, they're contracted to be here for three years.
Northrop T-38 NX385AF (N385AF) at TIA. It was towed down to the far end of the runway for an engine test of some kind.

Is that Ross Perot Jr's bird?
Yes.
Apparently, it was built from parts of a T-38 and an F-5. It has the F-5 engines and has been referred to as the fastest T-38 in the world.
Nice catch, John. You never know what you may see TIA
IIRC, the FAA refused to believe him when he initially went to register it.
"Sir, you do NOT have a T-38..."
NX385AF normally visits yearly for maintenance and prep for FAA inspection. I have seen it many times, but only while it has been on the ground!
Hey
Has anyone seen anything of 2 Beech 1900's that were stripped down to bare metal at Hamilton's I saw these in April but have not managed to get back down to the field to check them out, any help much apppriciated.
Harry, this one was flying in and out of Hamilton a couple of weeks ago. Is this one of them?

Were you able to capture the blue light because the targeting pod was locked onto you ??? :o ;D
Typically not something I nerd out on, as I'm not really a "spotter" type, but I just noticed that two of the Test Center birds that went up on Tuesday morning were sister ships - 86-0211 (Ned's shot) and 86-0212 (my shot).
I'd have to call seeing the Pod "eye" a malfunction of some kind.
Really rare/odd to see one uncovered in the pattern.
I'll have to poke around on my TIA shots, but I'm pretty sure it's not all that uncommon. I've seen unmasked pods on Vipers out at Luke and Harriers at Willie as well.
I recall the UAE birds sported a different style that didn't (outwardly) appear to have any gimbal action to them but I would think the one in Ned's shot could be FOD'd quite easily if the front element were not caged.
But I'm probably wrong...

The UAE pods are based on the Sniper design and have that weird angled 2-piece design. My understanding is that the LANTIRN/LITENING pods are supposed to be "stowed" while not in use to minimize damage to the protective front element.

Great shots at Tucson International. Where, on or off the airport, are the best locations to get good photographs at Tucson International. I'm new to photographing in Tucson and trying to learn my way around. Thanks.

Big surprise at TIA this morning. It more than made up for the lack of anything else going on! However, the light was as terrible as it always is at that spot after 9:00AM. My assumption is RR is ground testing the engine installation they just recently completed. Hopefully we'll be seeing test flights soon!

Two 747 testbeds at TIA at the same time is a bit weird considering how infrequently we see anything larger than a 737 here!

Thanks, Bill ..... the Dutch seem to know how to look after photographers.

Very cool. Stunning paint job as well.
Is that large window for observation/photography?
Yes the window if for observing. The paint job will look even better when the white "sign" comes off and the new N number is on.
Their first 206 is a in Carlsbad CA now having the camera installed. The following YouTube shows their aircraft N916ST before they purchased it. It is a Soloy Mark II Sentinel,.

Bill: Excellent series 206 images. I'm sure Chris is thrilled to see them.
Bill,
Great Shots of the 206...Thank You! I was looking for you down by the firehouse when I departed and leveled off for a little bit after take off just in case you were down there. Looks like you were on the Atlantic ramp.
That white billboard looks hideous but it allows it to fly until all the paperwork is submitted for the other tail number.
The 206 has A LOT!! of power with the turbine up front even when it's hot out the thing just wants to climb.
Again great shots!!
Chris, I wasn't sure which runway you would use 21 or 11 but I knew you would come by Atlantic which ever one you used. Thanks again for the update.

Great teamwork, Chris and Bill. I'm looking forward to seeing more shots of the 206; it's a great looking aircraft.

Bill, Chris, just read this post realized that perhaps the "Turbo" in the name doesn't mean turbocharged! Is it turbine powered or turbocharged? Pretty cool aircraft in either case.
Scott, it has a Rolls Royce 250-B17F/2 Turbo prop engine. It is Turbine powered and develops 450shp. This is the same engine that's in the other 206 the Pima County Sheriff is getting. Chris can answer much better than I can.
bill
Thanks for the info Bill. That basic turbine engine (originally Allison) has been around a long time as you probably know, having powered the OH-6A and OH-58. Gives the 206 quite a boost over the piston engine without a doubt! Must be a blast to fly especially when lightly loaded. The airplane, not the pilot!

QuoteBill, Chris, just read this post realized that perhaps the "Turbo" in the name doesn't mean turbocharged! Is it turbine powered or turbocharged? Pretty cool aircraft in either case.
Scott,
Sorry I haven't had much opportunity to respond, been busy flying the 206s for the last couple weeks. Both 206's have the Rolls Royce turbines installed and it's a tremendous amount of power for a light aircraft and yes its a blast to fly even heavily loaded. However, the Helio Courier was also a blast to fly. It was powered with the 250C Rolls turbine. The C model engines had a little bit less power than the F models do, still it had plenty of power. Tower guys(at TUS that is) often told me that they couldn't wait to see the Courier come out on a windy day. Short field take-offs and landings and slow flight characteristics is where this plane stood out. This one was originally a tail dragger and flew on a few flights as a tail dragger with the turbine engine. With the aft CG it was a handful to say the least... there were some ohh $&#@ moments before it was decided to make her a tri-gear, even as a tri-gear she could be a handful to fly.. but fun nonetheless.

Love that shot Chris. Always had a soft spot for the Courier as well. Still in active service down there?
Thank you Joe!

Great series Chris. Especially like that top one. Really nice light on them all. Curious what you were shooting with. Shots look really crisp.
Thank you Bill and Scott.
I was using a Canon 7D with the 100-400L lens. We were out there at about 7 am last week, the TUS tower worked us in for some low passes and short/steep approaches to Runway 3. I'm not sure what Canon did to my lens when I sent it at the beginning of the year for a cleaning and tune-up but I like what they did. I tend to think that the lens was lemon when I got it several years ago because my shots were all soft even in good light. Now It's like I have a new lens.

If I owned a Learjet this probably would not have been my color choice to paint it, but it does catch the eye. Very nice photo Bill, cool catch.
Thanks Harvey, it was an eye catcher when it landed

Hey Bill:
Ned and I were talking in Yuma and we both commented on the wonderful images you are getting at TUS. Lots of great work from you and a wonderful variety of interesting aircraft. Keep up the good work sir.
Jeff thank you (and Ned) very much. I do appreciate comments from my fellow AZAPers

^^^^ Heck of a catch Bill. Wondered if they'd be flying the Scorpion ever since Chris Janes gave us the "heads-up". Scott Youmans and I were talking about this aircraft earlier in the week. Apparently, there are concerns that having the engine intakes in their current location behind the leading edge of the wing could inhibit optimal aerodynamic performance. I'm not sure who the ultimate user/customer will be for this platform, but the rear set would be a great location for some A2A photography. Part of me expects that wing to sweep back like the F-14 ;)

+1 on the catch Bill. I had camera in hand and getting ready to walk out to catch some static shots of it but in standard fashion I was pulled back into the hangar for work.
I had the chance to talk with the test pilots the day they arrived and was able to walk around the jet (camera at home.. :-[ :-[) The airplane is designed for a surveillance platform with long loiter times. CIA or CBP as customers maybe?? The bottom of the aircraft has a few compartments that will hold a 15" FLIR or Wescam MX-15 IR Camera. It's kind of a frankenairplane, engines and components are basically from different lines of Cessna business jets. The plane can supposedly take off and fly for 150 miles loiter for four hours and fly back 150 miles. In the coming months there will be a speed brake installed in between the tails much like an F-15. It's interesting that Cessna is trying to get into the manned surveillance market considering the technology is headed towards unmanned UAV's. The day I looked at it there were hard points under the wing so it would appear a few guided weapons could be mounted to the wing.
Thanks Chris for all the update info.

Bombardier Challenger 604 cn5614 N614BA Boeing MSA - Maritime Surveillance Aircraft TUS 01/16/15
The MSA is billed as a 'lite' version Boeing P-8 Poseidon maritime multimission aircraft, in that it utilises the same mission systems but configured for those operators that do not require a top-end anti-submarine (ASW) or anti-surface warfare (ASuW) capability. While the demonstrator aircraft utilises the Challenger 604 airframe, the MSA will be built around the Challenger 605. The MSA shares the P-8's mission systems.

Jeff:
This is the EAA's tri-motor. The one at Valle was owned by the Planes of Fame museum and I'm pretty sure they are different aircraft.
Very nice shot of a rare aircraft. My prediction is that these won't last long once they get home. Very nice catch Ned.
Jeff this is not the same one at Valle. They both are 4-ATs. This one is owned by EAA and they have a 5-AT currently on tour in Florida. There are about 7 flying or in flyable condition and another 4 or so in various stages of restoration.

The 200 series is my favorite in the 737 line. I love those long skinny engines. Terrific catch Ned.
Cool shot Ned! Don't see too many of those anymore. As Jeff mentioned, the skinny JT8Ds are great, the way the 737 was originally designed.
Thanks Jeff and Scott. They both flew prior to FIFI which was an extra bonus for the few of us that showed up.

Awesome catch, Bill! The counter-IED mission is one of the most fascinating things out there.
+1 - very cool Bill. Great work catching this unique airframe.
Very, very cool, Bill!
Excellent catch Bill! Very unique and cool aircraft.
Thanks very much Jeff, Matt & Scott
de Havilland DHC-8-315 Gray Ghost. This one arrived today. There are 3 more parked on the ramp at Million Air. Thanks to Bill Word for the tip.

Nice shot Ned and neat looking and an uncommon aircraft
Terrific catch Ned. As the resident village idiot of AzAP, I am hoping members can educate me regarding the Gray Ghost's mission and technology.

Thank you for the clarification gents. I now recall that Joe explained this to me a couple of weeks ago. Not only am I ignorant, but what little I know I quickly forget ;)
The Ghosts are really nice catches, guys. Way to go!

Chris Janes bringing the now-retired Pima County Sheriff's Helio Courier in for a landing after a patrol support mission last summer.
Nice shot Joe,
I sure do miss flying the Courier, it was such a great performing machine. Both our Couriers were sold and are now back east. The last I heard the green one was going to be converted back to a tail dragger and a piston engine put back in it. Our first one was also going to be reassembled with a piston engine and is going to be used for NOAA, not a 100% on the NOAA part.
From a couple weeks ago--I am just now finally looking through the images from that morning:

Perfect light, not a hint of glare, and probably the cleanest F-16 I've seen in a long time, especially for a Dutch bird. Those were some rough-looking birds when they first returned to TIA.

It is unusually clean looking. But, for some reason some do look a bit better than they had (especially when they arrived). It might just be luck of light and timing. Here is one of the two-seaters back in September. It doesn't look bad either!

Great catch, Ned We normally don't get aircraft this size at TIA
This shot was a quickie shoot-n-scoot over the fence in garbage light, but I wanted to post it as a heads-up that Sierra Pacific's 500-series 737 is now out and about. I had been waiting for it, but I had not seen it before. Admittedly, it isn't quite as exciting as seeing a 200-series, but it is something new to see at TIA.

Thanks for the heads-up John. I guess it was inevitable that they would go with more modern 373's. Maybe its just me, but I've always thought that the 737-100/200 was the best looking of the bunch. IMHO, those long-bodied Pratt & Whitney turbofans look way better under the wings than their new rotund cousins ;)

Definitely. The minimalist SP paint scheme (still intact on N712S) works fairly well, too. You'll notice the scheme is slightly altered on the -500.

Anyone hear when it might be flying?

Cool shot Joe! I do miss flying the Drag Queen. With Flaps,slats, spoilers connected to the ailerons, and a hundred pound camera hanging on the wing it sure made for some fun rides!!
This one is from back in January 2016 (As I work my way through that month!)

It's a C-26 aka metroliner, it belongs to the Air National Guard, call sign used to be sneaky but I think it has changed.

Thanks Anna! Its been a fair amount of time since I was able to get out with the camera in hand.
11L/29R at KTUS is being rebuilt in several phases. Right now the beginning of 11L has been moved back right next to the ANG ramp, so the F-16s when they are using it have been rotating at or just past the intersection of RWY 21.

Some of you may have seen this Cobra at WTI a few weeks ago. This and two other Cobras were on the ramp at KTUS this past week. I got to talking with the crew late last week and they informed me they were headed to the boneyard. I was fortunate to get away for a few minutes and catch at least one of the departures. One appeared to have departed early and the other was departing in early afternoon. This was the last flight of this 39 year old workhorse... She's served us proud.

Very cool image Chris... Literally and figuratively. :)
QuoteVery cool image Chris... Literally and figuratively.
Thank you Anna. There was a KC-135R that was just off to the right that would have looked so cool with all the steam but there was a bus sitting right in front of it.
Great shot Chris. Nice that it was an Alaska airplane. Your photo could have been there instead of here.
Bill
Great photo Chris, nicely seen and photographed.
Killer shot, Chris! Very well seen!
Bill, Harvey, and Brian.
Thank you for the kind words. Bill, I was thinking the same thing as well
You should get in touch with Alaska Air... I bet they would love this shot.
I had no idea that there was a story here until the day after I snapped this shot: Singapore to Tucson.

Very cool that you caught this aircraft completing a world record John, congrats!
Many Thanks! I didn't know it at the time--I just snapped the image because the light was okay and because I was there and it was there. Now, I wish it had taxied further down the runway to where I was at!

Something a little different from TIA--at least something I had not seen there over the years. This was a barrier test back in February. The light was really crummy, but it was worth seeing.

Nice catch Ned. Do all the foreign liveries have to stop in KTUS on their journey to Pinal? Or, did these folks do that because of their route from SA?

I believe it's because they came directly from SA. If they had stopped somewhere else in the US and cleared customs there then I believe they should be able to just fly straight to Pinal.

Good afternoon,
JEST 31 and JEST 41 flight departed last week, May 23rd from Tucson to Kona airport, Hawaii.
Does anyone know which squadron they were from ? Thanks.
The first F-16s returned today from Kona airport as JEST 31 flight.
Did anyone get any tail numbers please ?
René.
