Not Boca!

Were the AF pilots wearing flip flops? Heard the boss is "interesting."

Some from the Homestead Air Force Base Airshow a few years back. Definitely not professional photos.Camera wasn't even $130 ; )

Still nice shots. I do love me the Lancer. Such a beautiful, graceful-looking airplane.

I had that very thing this morning. Only real pop tarts are to rich for my blood. Mine were from the dollar store.

I had the same thing but with a monster rehab instead of a red bull!

 

[Nark]

I can't drink Monster. Apparently there is voodoo in them (according to the Army) and not Red Bull. Plus Red Bull taste better anyway.

And, it isn't a huge damn can that makes me have to piss so much.

I envy you guys' ability to drink those things.

If I drink one, I'm wired and edgy and I don't sleep right for a couple of days. It's not just the caffeine - there's other stuff too. I typically drink 2-4 cups of coffee a day (sometimes more) and it doesn't have the same slightly-nauseating effect that those drinks do.

Interestingly enough, 5-hour energy does NOT do that to me.

Now I feel cheap with a $120 lens!

Naples, FL.

Airport's 12 0'clock, 3 miles.

It's the voodoo I count on... I'm a really crappy pilot otherwise

Looks a lot like a TFE731. Don't think its a Lear 45 because our probe is at about the 10 o'clock position. @knot4u what say you?

Agree that it's a 731, which dash number is hard to guess. Looks like a -5 on a Hawker, but it could also be a Falcon or a 30 or 50 series Lear, either way with a birdstrike like that they might pull that engine regardless of a borescope of the 1st stage compressor. The fan gearbox might have damage due to the obvious fan damage, the fan obviously has to come off to be repaired and rebalanced. MSP will guide everyone and make the decisions. My last day dealing with 731s is friday, for the immediate future it will be Tays and CMPs.

It's a 731-2C mounted on a 35A. There is a loaner enroute and the plane should be back in service in about a week.

Wow. It's more like the deck of a ship. Didn't realize the Herk was so roomy up there.
