Hi Troops:
I drove a couple of neighbors to Baltimore-Washington International airport to go on vacation this afternoon and passing one of the terminals on the way out there sits a C-130 in Desert camo and Iraqi markings. Very colorful and different markings. And me without a camera! Damn! I may go back tomorrow!

And it won't be there. At least that's how my life goes.......;]

We can see this one every once in a while during summer over the City of Bremen too. Great noise - always looks like it is 'standing' in midair - compared to all the turboprops and jet liners here. You can book a round-trip over the city in it - rather expensive...
*time is an enemy*
That would be fun. I've had a ride in a Ford Tri-Motor.
Time is a killer...

Probably the one Lufthansa fly - seems to pootle about between Bremen, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Keil-Holtenau, Köln and Lübeck. Looks like you can have a 60 minute flight for 259 euro, if you're in the right place and the right time.
Saw it fly in the general direction of Manchester Ringway maybe 10 years back - tiny little thing, at least in comparison with the general traffic. They had it parked in the observation area for a weekend, charged a couple of quid to let people wal around it. Should have the pictures somewhere.

Bill, Sure it wasn't Egyptian? There's an Egyptian in there every week or so.

Speaking of tiny, I had no Idea Concorde was so small. Saw one of them sitting in the grass at Heathrow.
I like to compare the Ju 52 against the Ford Tri-Motor, which I have had a ride in. Nice sized airplanes - both of them. Now that Super Connie I jumped out of...THAT was a big airplane...
...time is inestuous...
rode a mats connie from rhein main to jfk in '59. noisy damn plane too. seems like we stopped every 15 minutes for fuel. gatwick and the azores anyway. sure left an impression on an
11 year old. i remeber the approach in the azores...the is beutiful green land rising out of the gray-green water. long ago and far away... not sure if it was a super but that damn fuselage went on forever..
this strange fscination, and i can't buy time time may change me but i can't buy time.
Egyptian?? Now that's a thought! Camo was brown and yellow like British W.W.II in North Africa.

i was about 4'10" at most. it had regular passebger seats. don't rmember much inside.
Must have been a short 11 year old. When I was around that age I toured a C-121 set up for casualty evac and there was nowhere in that plane that I could safely stand up straight. Got an exterior pic around here somewhere.

I jumped and rolled on my back to watch the airplane as I fell away...rolled ro face the dirt and then back and the airplane didn't seem any smaller.
...every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time.

At the end of my money, I always seem to have some month left.

Egyptian markings are green and white circles in style of RAF roundels. Iraq has a triangular marking - green with a black frame and some design on it.
