Ive been greasing the wheels for a while now and today at work they were setting up for another squadron photo. Me I seized the moment, ran through getting all the proper clearances and hurried home to get the Blazer. This was the end result. Hope you like!!

No i believe it is factory medium blue. But speaking of the blue angles we are having an airshow this weekend! There is a sweet B-17 sitting on the ramp right now. In hindsight I should have pulled up to it and shot some pictures too.

mychebe · 05-09-2011, 10:24 PM

No doubt that might be one of the best shows anyone will ever see.Great respect for the people who fly and maintain these magnificent machines.
Now getting back to your Blazer,the only thing better than a c10 is a c10 with a removable roof.

68Stepbed · 05-12-2011, 02:35 PM

Sweet shot! Are those F-22's? Yeah a shot with the Superfortress would be awesome! Which B17 is it?

Twisted78SS · 05-12-2011, 02:48 PM

Looks really cool.. During my AF Career, I always loved to see First Fighter Wing jets at remote places around the globe..

Yea they are F-22's they are the other pain in the @ss I wrench on.
The B-17 was 44-83546. It was in the "Memphis Belle" movie so it flies with the tail number 124485 and has the Memphis Belle nose art. Name: memphis belle.jpg

I got to go into the "Sentimental Journey" B17 a few years ago. It was quite an experience. It gives you a whole new appreciation for what those guys went through.

Oh, yeah, ya just gotta love radial engines!

ol'blue 72

Check out my sig pic from Columbus Ohio airshow, this was several years ago! My father's 57, and yes, he hit the line lock. The ramp will eat a good set of tires in less than 30 seconds.

I have heard things about wrenching on the 22s, tough work.

That sig pic is awesome! I was just watching the T Birds practice for our airshow like an hour ago. Id love to hear the story behind how you got that pic.

Wrenching on the 22 isnt that bad, they put some thought into it. Its the technology that gets in the way!!

Oh BTW I got to tow the only airworthy B-29 in the world today!!

They let us crawl (literally) all through it

Eddie H. · 05-13-2011, 05:31 PM

Great pictures

I was an aviator in my younger days, so I've always had a great appreciation for classic flying and driving machines.
