Figbuck Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Has anyone been on this aircraft lately? Hahaha Hey somebody indaminnville shoot a pic fer us... reet. I lived in Mt. View in the early '80s, when the downtown was virtually boarded up and dying. Hard to imagine now. They had just started building the wind tunnel at AMES research, and they still had the big air shows at Moffet Feild. I used to lie down on my roof and watch the Blue Angles routines with planes flying at each other, upside down a thousand feet over us shaking the whole neighborhood! We were used to lots of military style aircraft. Ask anybody who lived in Sunnyvale or Mt. View and they will tell you about the P-3 Orion training flights and missions day and night. I had a neighbor Bill, who was a machinist on an aircraft Carrier in the south Pacific. He told me about working endless hours for two and an half years in a machine room in the bowels of the ship, hearing insane battles and explosions, but never saw it. At that time he was a civilian contractor teaching mechanics of the P-3 Orion so, they could maintain the aging fleet. Nasa had some outfitted for storm chasing. Bill had retired out of the Navy after 35 years where he basically was the last of a dying breed of guys who had worked on them. He said the whole fleet is now maintained by people not from the WWII generation, and he taught all of them at some point along the way. Somebody find oics of one as a sub-chaser for me please. What made me think of that was, three or four times I was up in the middle of the night, when I heard this freakin' rocket motor sound. When I went to look, there was this black pencil like thing that, as soon as it got airborne, the afterburners got lit and it blasted straight up until it was gone. Bill told me it was a spy plane. So years later I stumble on this thing... 3 Quote Link to comment

q-tip Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Like this one Figbuck? I live near jblm (McCord air base) and see p-3's pretty frequently flying around, and the just stationed some Osprey and Apaches which are cook to see. 4 Quote Link to comment
paradime Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 For me this thread was over after the first pict. The Corsair IS the sexiest plane in the air PERIOD. If the prop is the aviation equivalent of tits, this plane had the shape of it's wings modified to accomodate the size of it's bust. Oh Baby! 4 Quote Link to comment

wayno Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 I went up in the attic today looking for materials and realized that I have way more model stuff than I thought I had, I do not remember buying these kits anymore, but there they are, I have a thing for multi-engine/wing planes. Here is airworthy plane I have. 2 Quote Link to comment

Trophy24 Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 I too grew up near Moffett Field NAS. The P-3's used to rattle my bedroom windows on a daily basis. I remember when one crashed on approach and took out part of the Sunnyvale golf course when I was a kid. Pretty big deal to me as my dad played there almost every week. 1 Quote Link to comment

paradime Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 The pregnant Guppy. Nothing sexy about this plane except the payload. It carried sections of the Atlas rockets to cape Canaveral during the moon missions. This thing would fly out of the San Diego airport when I was a kid. It looked like there was no fucking way it could be flying, but somehow it did. Very unsettling. 1 Quote Link to comment

wayno Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 The dice have a meaning, are you going to roll snake eyes this time? It's an engine and a gas tank, with a place for an idiot to climb into for a ride, this plane has only one purpose, to go fast. It just shows you that not all ideas are good ideas. 1 Quote Link to comment
