Marty's Boeings are in a league of their own, but the US Navy have a few oddballs too:



And just to show it can fly with all the bits sticking out, I made a little clip, and managed to land it (in a big hurry.)
Actually the shot is clipped from the video, sorry a little furry.



This is the one that ended up on the ground in China, after a little mid-air incident.
Luckily all the electronics are biodegradable and so were eaten by the crew before disembarking.

Awesome post Charl ..... great landing
It seems anything with an "E" prefix is interesting .... the EP-3 (Aries) very clever bit of kit .

What you don't see is the first huge bounce, behind the trees...
Actually, looking at some of the following YT clips, I see I need a little SMOKE.
I have just the thing, from a C130 as I recall.

Thank goodness for the trees .... from memory , i think they landed with a bit of wing missing as well .
Re the smoke .... i need some for my Boeings , just noticed HJG have a little package to help out .

Eating things that may not work after coping, Steve Austin had better watch out to eat yourself inside to the out.

Charl .... what have they done ?

Mmm... for a moment there, I thought you were showing us a stock 1900D but No! this one's prettier!

Now that's what ya call an aerial shot

Mike i wish i could take credit for the shot ... but its real , i mean how much more can you hang on that poor thing? I think a 228 would wear it well .

One dose have to ask, not exactly a stealthy snooper nor is it quick if caught out .... Like saying I didn't do it but all those lumps and bump tell another story.

No need for stealth... Guard Rails are used to spy on the citizenry!
It's a short-lived thing: UAV's are more efficient at tapping your phone, and boy they can get truly ugly.

"Guard Rails are used to spy on the citizenry" they are indeed .... along with god knows what else.

Very surprised I don't get anymore peoples in black suits ... Guard rails think they have gone off the rails long ago.

I think that's the military bureaucrat sense of humour - I'm sure you've noticed just how bent a bit of Armco is ...

Just one last one, now I've figured out how to do inflight feathering in FS9 (and while I ponder AB's New Kid on the Block P3K...)
Man... that is a lotta antennae and wires hanging off this bird!
Where do they get time to listen to all the stuff they must pick up? I barely get through my day's phone calls



Found some weather so here's a gratuitous one

Magic .... but i hope its not the last Charl , this sky spy stuff is interesting.

Just think, If they were waisting time hovering over my place, Id tease the buggers to hell course make the excuse for them to go in circles , when they think your finish and doing nothing as you here the plane fly off , quickly pick up the phone and ring mister Putin
