Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

My trip ended in Seattle, everyone here will proably know what I visisted there. ;-)

I’d say your mystery aircraft is a lockheed model 12... And what a decent bunch of KC-46s you encountered!

This is definitely a Lockheed PV-1 Ventura as it has a ventral gunners position and the Hudson style cockpit..

Nice trip report !!

Cheers, Jan
spotting is just like fishing only less slippery.....

Looks like you are right.
Found this image also of one being restored in Edmonton: http://www.airport-data.com/aircraft/ph ... 24171.html
Looks very similar indeed.

Bonus question: What is the registration of the one I found? ;-)
