Ah, The &quot;Tinker Toy.&quot; When I was a kid growing up across the bay from San Francisco there was at least one squadron of Skyhawks at NAS Alameda and they'd come up the bay and turn northeast and roar right over my house. Even though the A-4 didn't have an afterburner they were still loud.

Here is another shot from the &quot;Willie&quot; area that I caught at lunch time today. This quartet of Harriers (II+) are from the Wake Island Avengers of VMA-211 out of MCAS Yuma. Lettering shows that they are/were attached to the USS Boxer amphibious assault ship.

Sam, nice to see the 211 WIA's ocassionally.
My son was an aviator in that squadron of which I visited many times during his tour of duty in Yuma, including a Tiger Cruise from Hawaii after one of his deployments. I think I've said it before on this blog; but I always found it humorus that they nicknamed their squadron &quot;Chicken F_ _ _ers after their tail insignia,CF. HOO RAH &amp; SEMPER FIDELIS...

To be honest... this one does it for me. Can you imagine in 1944 being in your P51 Mustang and encountering one of these bad boys? US planes in the Korean War still couldn't surpass the Me-262 at speed.

This (I believe) F-104 sits in the woods in New Jersey. Right past Great Adventure/Six Flags.

Another project just completed by Gosshawk and Custom Connections. The Focke-Wolf 190A is the only flying Focke-Wolf 190 left in the world and is owned by Paul Allen, cofounder of Microsoft.

I am on the path from Mesa to Deer Valley and the sound they made was beautiful music

Here's some flying that requires a seat cushion sphincter removal after you land, especially at night, or low on fuel, or low on fuel at night. Max pitch and roll is a bitch. Ask me how I know!

Bummer! A living piece of history is now gone, the Liberty Belle crashed and burned today, all 7 on board got out safely.

Also a Goodyear Blimp crashed and burned in Germany, 3 pax survive, pilot dies a hero.

That just sucks!!! There are not that many B-17's left flying and every time any Warbird goes down the beaurocrats make it harder to keep them flying. Thank God no one was killed!!Unfortunately not the same can be said for the pilot of the blimp.

This is awful. I live near where this plane flew and I used to love seeing it overhead every once in a while.

More on the Goodyear blimp. It was one of several that are leased to Goodyear by the Lightship group, unlike the three company owned airships that operate in the United States and are old school, old tech blimps.

If that was the A-4 crane mishap at the former NAS Alameda the jet was repaired and is back up on its pylon. I was just there last week on a layover and the old bird looks great.

Received this from a friend this morning.

Rick,
The big day is almost here. Mike Glenn of the A-3 Association and his crew were on hand for the moving our TA-3B, BuNo 144867 from where it has been for the last eight months, the USS Midways restoration facility on North Island, awaiting an opportunity lift via one of our Nation's finest, the USS Bon Homme Richard (the BHR is the new one).

The TA-3B Skywarrior was loaded on the BHR this morning, February 8, 2012 and will set sail from Pier 8 Naval Station San Diego on the morning of February 14 for Naval Station Pearl Harbor, now known as Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hickam or JBPHH. The BHR will tie up at Kilo Pier in Pearl Harbor and unload our Whale on 21 February 2012. To make sure the Whale gets to Hawaii all in one piece, I will be accompanying it to insure its safe voyage across the vast Pacific Ocean....Damn I have a fun job!

In October 1968 our TA-3B was bailed to first Hughes for F-14 avionics and eventually ending its flying career as a flying test bed for B-2A Spirit Stealth Bomber avionics and radar. Its last flight was in June of last year when it was ferries from Van Nuys Airport to North Island NAS, San Diego, CA. Once the Whale is on Ford Island we will proceed to remove the all of the none standard pieces and parts and it will revert to what she looked like in operational service with VAH-123 then located at NAS Whidbey Island, WA, my old stomping grounds.

More to come as we set sail and when we prep the Whale to be lifted off of the BHR and as it is demoded back to a standard TA-3B configuration.

Cheers from Waikiki............Jim
