Wednesday lunch at Carswell

[CaptainTom]

A few birds flying around today.
The C5 was in the local pattern making touch and goes.
It is a seriously large airplane.

It's got lots of wheels that stow sideways in the fuselage.

F18
E2C Hawkeye

Nice shots Tom. Looks like a fun place to have lunch.

A great way to spend lunch! Great set of images.

Nice series, Tom! Cool detail on the landing gear.

Seeing the stuff y'all are posting in this forum has inspired me to spend some time near the end of some of the runways here in San Antonio.

C-5A on approach to Kelly AFB (or whatever it's called now). They ARE huge airplanes!


A couple of F-16 jets doing a formation landing


From near San Antonio International, a Southwest 737-7H4


From Stinson, and Piper Malibu Mirage on approach. I was a little too close to this guy for the lens I had mounted!

Is there a new place to park? Last time I went out there (about a year ago), the small parking area on the west side of the runway was closed.

There is a less optimum but usable spot on the south west side of the base off of Lockheed Blvd. Enter just across from the church.
