I was out test driving cars this evening and from a distance I thought I saw a B-52 take off from the Plant.    Was I hallucinating from the new car smells?

Could it be ice?    ???

I saw this a while back...

Mid page  "Ice has formed on areas of the wing that are cooled by cold-soaked fuel remaining in the bottom of the tanks."

Grabbed a couple of quick shots this morning on my way home from a doctors visit...just missed a F16 as I was driving down 50th east.   >:(


gfydad

First two are yesterday. Looks like the fron-seater is getting graded.   :D

Other three are from today...
Last is a different aircraft than the one you caught yesterday nmcbride.  ;)

Jim did you catch the call sign on that F-4? OLDIE or CHEVY would be my guess. And did it sound any different from the other QF-4s?
