Link to a selection of clips from 2003/4 trips up Tikaboo. Su-27, MiG-29 and N105TB feature here. As does the MH-60L chopper that came to have a very close look at us...no close ups here as it didn't seem wise to point video or camera at them while hovering alongside.
Photos of the Janet 737s at Paine Field http://microvoltradio.com/janet.htm reminded me to track them by their Callsign as they use the ex-Air Force last 3 of the serial as their trip number when on positioning flights. The last 3 are clearly visible on the cockpit of the fleet. for completeness, the T-43A fleet 282 N5175U ex 72-0282 283 (72-0283) stored at Davis Monthan 284 N5294E ex 72-0284 285 N5176Y ex 72-0285 286 N5177C ex 72-0286 287 N5294M ex 72-0287 288 72-0288 'RA' still active and puts in airshow appearances regularly 289 doesn't exist, the CT-43A that crashed nr Dubrovnik was 73-1147 from memory 290 N4529W B737 not sure why they chose '290' I wonder if the ex-Janet 737s N4508W, N4510W and N4515W had fleet numbers assigned. I guess a closer inspection of old photos will show this.
