Would be nice to see her at Fairford….
Found one more today:

If you ask me ‘cool’ and ‘uav’ can’t be in the same sentence…
If I’m not mistaken a company modified them and flies them over the Grand Canyon with tourists. Not 100% sure if they were H-19’s but I saw it on discovery a few years ago.
Thanks a lot! Good thing some of the nice programs you guys get are on BBC2 so us Dutchies can watch em as well. 🙂
Oh and please let them add Kinloss to the spotter’s guide, I’m probably going there later this year!

nice pic, 334_Pegasus.Row of S-55’s scrapped.
Assume that was taken at Davis-Montan AFB ?
My life long dream is to go and visit there. I shall do it one day !!
Actually it was taken at a place called Chandler Memorial in Arizona last year. It’s not too far from DM.
There’s also a bunch of ex USAF C-130’s for firefighting and loads of old propliners. Have a search on airliners.net
Wonder why but this place really had dozens and dozens of these H-19’s in a compound.
And yes, DM is very impressive. I flew over it for the first time last August and it was amazing.
Thanks for the pics everybody, it’s more than i could find so far!
Here’s mine. Often changes as well by the way…
Sorry don’t have any more of those. They were taken at Beauvechain in Belgium. They are still on the dump there actually!
🙂
Hey I like this thread!

Ah yes a spottersday without F-104’s is like uhm……. an Open House at Volkel without F-104’s. (yes the last one was **** 😀 )
I remember one time a few days after a spottersday at Kleine Brogel… I was just arriving at Eindhoven on my bicycle only to get overflown by 4 TF-104G’s being lead by a Belgian F-16B.
Only later I heard they wanted to make a low pass at Volkel but weren’t allowed to because there was a broken F-16 on the runway, so instead they went to Eindhoven. 😀
What a lucky day…. Except for the Volkel spotters. 😀
I don’t have any soundfiles to add but a few that would belong in here:
UH-1 for helicopters
Texan/Harvard has a pretty distinct sound as well
VC-10 while taxiing/landing
Forgot to add, the startup of a SR-71! There’s a video of it here although it’s 108MB! http://www.wvi.com/~lelandh/Last_Flight_Part_6.mpg
And another helo…
