Just some more random saab shots...*

And some of me just experimenting with the camera.

*no shots were taken during a critical phase of flight.

In the first photo, what is the sticker added overhead?

In the first photo, what is the sticker added overhead?

If I had to guess, I'd say it's an "inop" sticker for an MEL'd Strobe light

 

[BobDDuck]

Nice pics.


That's a whole lot of dirt on the gen switches in the first picture.

I wish the Air Force would start using red safety wire... lol

It's an MEL sticker indicating something wrong with the strobes.

you know now that you mention it, you're right

Just as a bit of trivia, 202SR used to be nicknamed "pride of the french" as it used a door from American Eagle that made it look like a french flag.

Looks like a fun bird to fly.

Looks like a fun bird to fly.

Calling the Saab a bird is like calling me graceful if they let me on 'Dancing with the Stars'



The Beech that is a fun bird to fly



and IAD does and ALWAYS will stink


..with all that said AWESOME pics.

What's with the crossair wetnap? I'm guessing they used to fly that plane and you found it in some strange spot?

I have a thing for crossair. I was living in Germany in 2001 and went to Crossairday, got to see and touch some saab 2000's and 340's... there was a plane there that would later become our 121CQ, and back then of course I had no clue I'd ever get to fly the thing. Strange omen... Heck, I was still premed! Anyway, Crossair had a tradition of leaving a very clean cockpit for the next crew, part of that was leaving the special crossair wetnaps for the next pilot on the chart holder, as a courtesy.

Geez, I'd probably ruin a Saab. I'm used to throwing switches forward to turn them on!

I think I drove through there once. I was over in Bad Aibling, about an hour south of Munich.
