NOTE: LARGER VIEWS OF THE PHOTOS CAN BE SEEN BY SIMPLY CLICKING ON THE IMAGE!

I've been looking through the archives for a project I'm working on and came across these 4 images that I liked.  

The  first three were taken at a Chino Air Show in 2009 and the last taken on a flight in the F5.  

This first one is of the wing of a C17.  It is a very large plane used to transport men and equipment into places with short or non-existent airfields.   I've seen photos of it landing on a highway.  It's the equivalent of a 4 wheel pickup modified for off road work!

Here's the engine Nacelle of on one of those in black and white:

and a Head-on shot of a plane called the "Wart Hog."  This plane flies low and slow.  It is used for ground support and as a "Tank Killer".  It was very effective in these roles in Iraq.   There is a large Gattling-gun like cannon in the nose of the plane used to fire rapid rounds of ammunition at its target.

And now for something different ... a selfie taken from the backseat of the F5.   Look closely at the reflection in the visor!  Part of the allure of flying is the view .... unrestricted and completely different than those with feet tied firmly to earth.

So there's the quick post for today.  

Hopefully next week, I'll get to the bigger project I alluded to last week!

Thanks, as always, for taking the time to look and comment.
