I’m recently back from a grand old trip to Myrtle Beach in South Carolina, and amongst the aviation delights was a trip down to Charleston to see the USS Yorktown and its associated birds, spotting an OV22 flying alongside highway 17 and being buzzed on the beach by an AH-64! 🙂
I did, however, notice a couple of interesting silhouettes under tarpaulin at Cheraw Municipal airport.
Now I’m pretty damn sure that one of these was a Strikemaster/Jet Provost but the other one, I’m not too sure.
Now I’m guessing at either a Folland Gnat or a Dornier Alpha Jet.:confused: It certainly had high wings, though in passing it was difficult to take in details.
If you use Google maps to view the site then you can see that there is a small pointy shaped jet on the ramp painted all red, which would point to the Gnat, but I was wondering if anyone knew for sure?
And if anyone had any information about these two ‘planes in general? The interweb is coming up blanks.
Thanks in advance!
