Golden Oldie.

Thanks Harvey!

Many thanks to alI! I was really lucky all of the conditions came together! Sorry for the late reply, apparently I'm not receiving email notices for this topic..

Ross, Sorry for the late reply. That is a truly great shot. I liked it a lot right off the bat. Congrats.

One more from the same flight...

First post in quite a while. This was taken off the NC coast on June 8th 2017.

A new look for the Bronco

That's got to be a rare bird.  Where did it come from?

They look great!

Jonathon, beautiful shot. I'd say your timing was good!

Great light on that F-16D. Nice to see a background free of man made structures.

Joe C. tipped me off about the existence of a Calfire OV-10 with 5-bladed props. I asked around at work and found out that a company in Germany (MT) built some new props for Calfire to address a parts shortage on the old original 3-bladed units. As far as I know this is a one off mod but this configuration might end up being standard on at least some of their Broncos. This one appears to be one of the Marsh conversions based on the larger exhausts. Not sure why they put the new props on this one as it already had the newer four-bladed units. I'll see what I can find out.
