Arthur, I recall counting about 26 antennae on it… at least… I bet it even had dish tv in the cockpit! haha
Futurshox, Funny thing, those Triumph autos (TR3 and TR6) I used to drive had the steering wheels on the wrong side too… 🙂
TV on now… whoops, here comes another surrendering Iraqi… Smart fella! This live video is pretty awesome! Brits have 250 prisoners so far…
I bet the satellite phone/comm companies are making a bundle on this war, with all the correspondents filing reports…

Whoah! So you not only drive on the wrong side of the road, you have to watch for aircraft cutting you up as well?! 😉

It’s an RC-12Q. One of those types where it’s easier to check the variant by the serial number, rather then count the antennae…

Hi China, suggest that you copy the RC12 to the AFM page. I would expect they would be very interested, and you would no doubt receive chapter and verse on is use and opperation.
Nice Pic

Clipper , how do you get such close access to these things !!!! , with todays political climate taking a photo of anything with that amount of radomes and fairings must be illegal !!!.

Of course, T34 Mentor, duh on me, new one RC12
Alastair,
DUH on me! I must have had a senior moment… again, I think?
Texas Air Aces is just down the ramp that flies 3 of em. In AF, Navy and Marine markings. You can go dogfighting in em, for a fee. They were out this morn, nice and SHINEY when I shot the Trojan pics.
This activy duty one was a bit worn for real wear… exhaust carbon, faded paint etc. But I bet she likes it…
Here is another one that was passing thru, carries a pilot, copilot and the whole back is full of electronics… maybe they are reading my email right now?….. RC12Y I think it is…
