RE: Plane With Michelle Obama Had To Abort Landing

This is really a non news story; CNN is just now breaking news on this (which happened yesterday) and again, its a non issue. The aircraft were 3 miles apart when the first ladys plane were notified to circle the airfield; it happens all the time in the civil world. The only reason why its news is b...

RE: The Age Of The Majority Of The Usaf C-17?

I had to look into it...The IFR lighting started being installed on 05-5153 on forward; you can see the IFR window at the nose, which is why the nose numbers were moved. 5153 was actually a block 18 aircraft; it was reserialed from being an 06 model according to the boeing C-17 handbook. 5152, which...

They must flash so slowly it appears that they rotate....I always thought they did. Thanks for clearing that up. What did you mean vintage and newer? The C-5s still have the old strobe lights on them....including the C-5Ms.
