RkyMtnHI Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 I was putting some stuff together for our facebook page.. thought you folks might like to see some of the aircraft that are our neighbors and/or have been on our ramp and in our hangar... these are about half, some times i just didn't have time to stop and take photos.. http://s298.photobucket.com/albums/mm243/RkyMtnHI2/Aircraft%20on%20our%20ramp/ aloha, dp 2 Quote
HoverMatt Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 Awesome. Love the B-17 especially. Lots of military planes in there, I'm curious why they are stopping in Broomfield so much instead of using the bases in the Springs? 1 Quote
RkyMtnHI Posted August 9, 2011 Author Posted August 9, 2011 Awesome. Love the B-17 especially. Lots of military planes in there, I'm curious why they are stopping in Broomfield so much instead of using the bases in the Springs? Some were here for an airshow, or to give rides, others were here visiting us and or just stopping for fuel (did you see the quad NVG? very cool stuff that the Air Force has, they visited us to discuss their flying areas in Colorado). The NASA fighters come in all the time, not sure why, the Navy planes also, they come for the weekend all the time, the NOAA planes are based here right next to us, HeliQwest is now on our airport, the rest are our neighbors.. There is also a Forestry base right next to us on the same side of the airport, tons of stuff landing there all the time. i guess this could be yet another 'pro' on training at a busier airport... dp 2 Quote
HoverMatt Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 Huh? *goes back to find pic of quad NVG* Ah man that kind of stuff makes me feel old, realizing how much has changed since I got out of the service. 1 Quote

Don't feel bad, that is very state-of -the-art, very, i haven't found anyone that has even seen those yet, much less used them.. dp 1 Quote
Gomer Pylot Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 Ummmm.... NASA has no fighters, they don't need to kill anyone. Those are T38 Talon trainers. Subtle difference from the F5. 1 Quote
HoverMatt Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 Ummmm.... NASA has no fighters, they don't need to kill anyone. This kind of attitude really pisses me off. It's short sighted people like you that are going to be the death of us all when the Martians invade. 1 Quote
