Great!!!!!

You have more about the Harrier???

1Saludo

Hi Roberto,

Thanks! I don’t have any more images of that Harrier. It is from 41 Squadron and based at RAF Coningsby. 41 Squadron aircraft quite often carry interesting ordnance. Harriers I love to photograph. I’ll post a few from the low fly routes for you on a later post.

Thanks James. It will have undergone the upgrade and now be known as a T.3. At the moment if you see a PIRATE fitted just behind the nose cone on two-seaters it will be a T.3. The second image is an F.2. If it undergoes upgrade it will become an FGR.4.

Oh boy, I wonder how those pesky russians found yet another bomber to fly over ! :diablo:

Nic

Huge amounts of money put into Russian strategic aviation over the years. The out of area flights re-commenced in the late 1990s. Long-range flights picked up in late 1999 after Kosovo and have been steady ever since.

If you read the gibberish by western journalists then you’d believe that all these bombers “built in the 1950s” have just been dragged out of storage. Strat air never went away. The Russians were running Tu-160s down into the North Sea during 2001.

Thanks for the comments. I’m just a snapper with plenty of time to get out on the hills. The MOD photographers are superb at their jobs, whether it be military or civilian.

Superb images on the database.

I would love to see the results from a group of MOD photographers on the low-fly routes. Especially with the inside knowledge of what was planned to come through the valleys on training sorties! It would be a great opportunity for photographers in training.

I’ve rotated one of the images.

There is an F-4 Phantom like outline at Koksan airfield, North Korea. Copy and paste the coords into GE.

38°41’14.44″N 126°36’3.82″E

The outline targets at the nearby range also remind me of F-4s. Would tie in with them being in the South Korean inventory.

38°40’23.11″N 126°36’34.59″E

The lightning is XI(F) sqn’s gate guard, now with them at conningsby – the long running gag on the squadron was for new guys to be sent to ‘BF the lightning’. Bloody hilarious….

(BF – Before Flight servicing)

The phantoms were apparently painted on after the real ones were chopped. The remaining one is alledgedly inside a hangar now…. and may not have to be killed i.a.w. salt II…. 😉

The Phantoms never came under SALT. SALT in relation to aircraft was heavy strategic bombers. RAF Phantoms came under CFE (Conventional Armed Forces in Europe). The Russians withdrew from CFE last year.

Nice one Danni. Good catch on 84-027. Double ‘kills’ during 1991 with a MiG-23 and a Mirage F-1.

wow, I am dead wrong, the image TEEJ proves it to me, I stand corrected.

No probs. You can even make out the dark painted tail plane on the image that Dionis posted.

Copy and paste the following coords into Google Earth

33°26’14.05″N 111°59’37.11″W

33°26’14.29″N 111°59’46.50″W

You’ll see two America West Express airliners at the terminals showing the livery from the top. Situated at Sky Harbor International, Phoenix.

Zoom out from the airport and to the north you’ll see the location of the airliner marked as a ‘cruise missile’.

before i start, i know little about the workings of these things,

But would it not be possible to work out the rough geographical area of the image, by zooming out and then cross referncing this with the schedules of this airline in recent years? They must have main use airports and routes?

Just a thought, would give a chnace for points to be proved if it could be done!

The following link contains a comment about the airspace. Possibly someone on the Civil Aviation forums can look into matching this info up?

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/03/05/google_earth_cruise_missile/comments/

By David

“Looking at the coordinates of the plane and overlaying the airspace system on it, the plane is on a Jetway, J-11, traveling between the Bryce Canyon and Fairfield VOR’s”

Also when you actually look at it on Google Earth the contrails are massive and definately double. Also take into consideration the size difference between an airliner and a cruise missile. If it was a cruise missile the resolution of the imagery wouldn’t pick it out in that detail.

The painted wings ties in with the colour scheme of America West Express (Mesa Airlines).

The light painted panel near the wing root is going to reflect heavily if caught in the sunlight.

Even the top surfaces of the tailplane are painted.
