An image I want to share in memory of my Dad.

Sadly my Dad recently lost his long battle with cancer. He was a pilot all his life, firstly in the RAF flying Valiants and then Canberras. He then moved into corporate aviation flying numerous types but mostly HS125s and Gulfstreams. Here's a picture of him doing basic jet training in Canada in a T33, late 1950s.

Caught a pair of C-130s flying over Manhattan today

Saw these two beauties flying up the Hudson River today. One of them had what looked like invasion paint on it. Maybe for some sort of demonstration at West Point? Anyone know anything about this?

McDonnell Douglas YC-15

McDonnell Douglas YC-15 S/N 72-1875 The McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) YC-15 was a four engine short take-off and landing (STOL) tactical transport. It was McDonnell Douglas’ entrant into the United States Air Force’s Advanced Medium STOL Transport (AMST) competition to replace the Lockheed C-130 Hercules as the USAF’s standard STOL tactical transport. In the end, neither the YC-15 nor the Boeing YC-14 was ordered into production, although the YC-15’s basic design would be used to form the successful C-17 Globemaster III. Two YC-15s were built, one with a wingspan of 110 feet (S/N 72-1876) and one with 132 feet (S/N 72-1875). Both were 124 feet long and powered by four Pratt & Whitney JT8D-17 engines. The first flight was 26 August 1975
