| Pdunn | 2006-10-18 20:54:57 | F-8 Crusader | What are the chances of that? I had just commented on an F-8 of Parbellum's and the first aircraft sighting of the night was also an ancient F-8. Freaky.

| Pdunn | 2006-10-17 19:35:13 | Odd censorship | One of the roads is called Grumman Lane. Does Northrup Grumman have a plant in the area with something in the works they don't want to us to see?
It's interesting Live Local doesn't... |
| Pdunn | 2006-10-16 20:11:10 | "{RESERVED} Anonymous Tourist Building Footprint" | Cool find. I wonder if this could be the realization of dda's "clone stamp" theory, where, rather than do a lousy job blurring over sensitive sites, they clone stamp actual buildings, or the... |
| Pdunn | 2006-10-16 10:38:58 | Multi-purpose Logistics Module for the Space Shuttle | You're undoubtedly right. Chances are the actual module would be in a clean room, and the only one allowed near it would be wearing smocks and booties. |
| Pdunn | 2006-10-16 10:30:46 | Mobile ARM Missile Launcher | I'm not really up on my armor, but I think there are a mixture of antiques, utlra-modern, and foreign vehicles here. If I'm not mistaken, the north east corner contains a number of soviet-made BMPs... |

| Pdunn | 2006-10-15 19:52:07 | MK-105 Mine Sweepers (See dda's Sea Dragon) | Now that would be cool.

| Pdunn | 2006-10-14 17:19:12 | Red and White C-130s #81 and #86 | Judging by this link, I think jbottero nailed it. The sixth photo shows plane #81, minus the red paint, and mentions its basingat Chandler Memorial Airport, Arizona:

| Pdunn | 2006-10-05 09:48:48 | Plane Wreckage near Nellis | Look closely within the piles of debris and you can make out other fueselage forms, leading me to guess this is an accident investigation lot where they analyze debris of various crashes. |
| Pdunn | 2006-10-05 09:43:37 | Plane Wreckage near Nellis | By the looks of the camo pattern, I think it was one from Nellis' agressor squadron, or else, it could possibly be the wreckge of foreign fighter plane recovered for inspection. |
| Pdunn | 2006-10-04 16:58:18 | White F-117 Nighthawk | Very cool catch. Great job! |
| Pdunn | 2006-10-01 18:27:29 | F-82E Twin Mustang | Very cool find! If you knew how many hours I've spent over San Antonio looking for just such a catch, it'd make you cry. Great job! |
| Pdunn | 2006-09-30 21:42:13 | Dismantled FedEx Plane | Cool find! I think a hurricane must have come through here not long before this shot was taken. I found a still up-side down light plane in the same airport, and many of the surrounding aircraft... |

| Pdunn | 2006-09-21 08:18:19 | "Fat Annie" ATL-98 Carvair at Grayson County Airport | According to the Wikapedia article dda linked, this is one of only three flying Carvairs remaining. Its primary purpose is to transport passengers and their cars, thus the name "Carvair." |
| Pdunn | 2006-09-21 08:13:49 | "Fat Annie" ATL-98 Carvair at Grayson County Airport | Good call, dda! Thanks for the ID. Evidently, they are cargo planes, with the nose opening for access.
Here's another shot of one in flight:

| Pdunn | 2006-09-20 14:40:22 | Skycrane at Sante Fe Municipal | voldude 123 is right. The view from the west reveals this to be a Skycrane, not a Hind. My bad. |

Here's a useful spotter's guide:

| Pdunn | 2006-09-19 21:26:48 | LTV TA-7C Corsair II 154500 (cn B-140) in Blue Angel Paint at the Anoka County-Blaine Airport | Looks like I got the chronology wrong. The Navy was considering adopting the A-7 Corsair to replace the F-4 Phantom for its aerobatic team The Blue Angels;however, opted for the A-4 Skyhawk instead... |
| Pdunn | 2006-09-19 20:47:02 | Aero Vodochody L-39 Albatros | As usual, I think you got it. The tail slightly forward of the stabilizer and the air intakes up top seem to match. Good show! |
| Pdunn | 2006-09-19 16:21:04 | LTV TA-7C Corsair II 154500 (cn B-140) in Blue Angel Paint at the Anoka County-Blaine Airport | My father used to build them for Vought. There was a time the A-7 were in line to replace the A-4 Skyhawk; however, the FA-18 won out. What we are seeing here could be the demonstrator used to woo... |
| Pdunn | 2006-09-19 09:08:14 | Hudson Bomber on Falcon Field | I think you are right, voldude 123, I think it is a Hudson Bomber instead of a Lodestar. Thanks for the catch.

| Pdunn | 2006-09-08 10:24:00 | ATG Javelin at Centenial Airport | Cool. Thanks for all the great research!! |
| Pdunn | 2006-09-08 07:54:04 | ATG Javelin at Centenial Airport | I thought the same thing. However, check out the North and South views, the wings seem much more like an F-16s or even an F-5. And the paint scheme is definitely not Navy. I think this is... |
| Pdunn | 2006-09-04 08:33:53 | Soldiers? Prisoners? Swatt? What? | Jbottero says this is the location brush fire jumpers deploy from. So, chances are these are firejumpers readying to deploy. |
| Pdunn | 2006-09-03 17:50:27 | Fouga Magisters | To think, a couple of weeks ago I didn't even know they existed, and now they're everywhere I turn. Thanks for ID-ing that first one for me! |
| Pdunn | 2006-09-03 14:38:18 | T-33 Shining Stars at Southern Wisconsin Regional | Thanks. It's amazing the treasure trove of American aviation history there is hidden within virtually every municipal airport around the country. I've learned the majority of the finds are located... |
| Pdunn | 2006-09-01 13:49:21 | Advanced Helicopter Prototype? | I think you nailed it. What we are seeing here must be a prop from the movie. Here's a cool look at the fictional "Whispercraft":

| Pdunn | 2006-08-31 21:07:14 | Grob G-520 Strato (Egret) and Douglas A-3 Skywarrior at Van Nuys | The plane on the right is a B-66 Destroyer, I'm still not convinced what the plane on the left is. |
| Pdunn | 2006-08-31 21:05:02 | Douglas A-3 Skywarriors at Van Nuys | I believe this is a collection of B-66 Destroyers, recon aircraft.

| Pdunn | 2006-08-30 20:45:21 | Jets undergoing restoration | The complete aircraft to the far left could be a Bell XP-59, the US's first jet aircraft. |

| Pdunn | 2006-08-26 13:53:03 | B-36 Peacemaker Wing | You obviously know your stuff. It does looks Peacemaker-ish right down to the two inboard bumps. I assume the spots for the remaining engines would be included on outer panels not seen here. |
| Pdunn | 2006-08-26 12:47:18 | Sleek Fouga Magister | Obviously, I erred in thinking it is a private jet. It is a fighter in every sense of the word. |
| Pdunn | 2006-08-26 12:24:07 | Wingless Catalina PBY with British markings | I was a little hasty in my posting. Had I waited a tad longer I could've connected it to the PBY at the other end of the strip. |
| Pdunn | 2006-08-26 12:20:34 | Wing With British Insignia in Texas | Good ID, again. Did you identify it before coming across the fueselage at the far end of the strip, or by wingshape alone? |
| Pdunn | 2006-08-26 12:18:36 | Sleek Fouga Magister | By George, I think you've done it. Good ID. |

| Pdunn | 2006-07-25 15:56:11 | Helicopter very low over the water | The long wake could indicate it was conducting a mine-sweeping operation, although it doesn't appear to be trailing a cable. |

| Pdunn | 2006-07-05 16:19:00 | Polaris Missile | Evidently, the Navy decided they didn't like having a "Bird's Eye" view of their base. It's no longer available in any resolution close to what is shown in the thumbnail. |
| Pdunn | 2006-07-03 07:03:59 | Grid Markings outside Grozny | That is amazing to me. The gaps from a distance looked so much like the markings of a Sharpee Marker, and the fact each line is so perfectly straight and spaced, I assumed we were seeing left over... |

| Pdunn | 2006-07-02 15:18:47 | Vehicle in fire in Grosny | It is horrific. I hadn't really looked closely until you pointed it out. It looks like virtually every building surrounding this military base has extensive damage, I imagine as a result of sniper... |
| Pdunn | 2006-07-01 20:53:16 | Vehicle in fire in Grosny | What do you speculate is the cause?
Judging by the amount and color of the smoke and the fact there are at least three similar vehicles smoking simultaneously near a military base, my guess... |

| Pdunn | 2006-06-28 07:29:54 | Possible IED in Baghdad | That means the title should be "Improbable IED in Baghdad." |
