hey you! what’s with “bring_it_on?”

gees, i thought i’d just post a few pics and you make a big deal out of it? the Gripens are staying overnight (perhaps longer) in Iqaluit on their way back home. they’re the same jets that landed here last month on their way to Alaska, but since i was out of town (three weeks ago), i thought i post a few pics, that’s all.

what i don’t understand is, they’re left outside with our everchanging elements. our weather can change unexpectedy (hey, Iqaluit is WAY UP NORTH) and tends to be unpredictable. the least was that the Gripens could have used the old FOL Hangers that were originally built for CF-188’s during the Cold War Years!!!

“Impressive!”

-now that’s a bombload from the Eurofighter pics!

The Little One That Could Have…

F-20 Tigershark with Sparrows — would have been overkill with AMRAAMs today?

Douglas C-124C Globemaster

a rare find…

dated April 27, 1955

-a Douglas C-124C Globemaster landed short of the runway and crashed. can you believe, as it says from the website, that they’re were no fatalities but the aircraft was a total loss!?

one of the engines (as seen from pic) continued to operate/running for another day or so after the crash. for more info, go to:

back to the pic (attachment)…

i don’t know… maybe, it’s just me, or not. sort of reminds me of the annoying character from Star Ways Episode 1?? the one with the long ears and a snout-shaped head? can’t remember the character’s name…

does anyone have the ‘attachment’ in full picture? with the whole Warthog?

P-3C Orion with Harpoons…
