Sweet!!! I spent 4 years in the USAF as an Airborne Radar Tech (ART) on the US version of that. Lots of holes burnt in the sky. ;)

E3-C*

I am a Flight Engineer on one.

[PhotosGuy]

Good ones.

I would rather see the whole bird, though. I wonder why OTAN is on the side of the bird. Is it in case you see it coming in the rear-view mirror, like ambulances do?

Nice shot
I don't know why Australia didn't just buy E3 instead of producing our own plane with all the problems that entails.

Great catch but you've got an inbetween crop happening in #1.

OTAN = Organisation du traité de l'Atlantique Nord
(NATO in French)

Thanks! I always like listening to the stories (the ones you can tell) about what this plane has been up to...lol You must have plenty!

Very cool job! Those old engines really do kick up the noise factor!

Good ones.

Thanks!

I've attached a photo below of the whole bird - I edited the one below because it started to go outside the frame due to the lens I was shooting with. :)

Thanks! Politics...lol The Wedgetail is a pretty neat aircraft though...

I had to Google it to find out what it really meant. I was just being goofy w/ the question.

[WingsofFury]

It's ok being goofy...:) I mean heck, I've been referred to as a plane geek/nerd a whole lot during my life...nothing wrong with that though. :)
