Last week I made a tour with a buddy en on wednesday octobre 27 we passed the Yuma Proving grounds. We didn't took to much time here as
they are not that keen on spotters, so the pics aren't that good. But they are interesting. At least I think so.
last noted come from the scramble database.
1. two C-41's 87-0159 (l/n oct04) and 90-0169 (l/n oct02)
2. normal C-130 from the Minnesota ANG
3. two O-2A's 67-21349 (l/n may03) and 67-21414 (l/n jul98) and a huey inside
4. a normal C-17 for paradrops that day
greetings

27-10 Yuma Proving Grounds

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. |

Re: 27-10 Yuma Proving Grounds
Twin Otter in the back looks exactly like N125SA from Perris Valley. Apparently they hired some civy para lifting capacity.rogierottens wrote:1. two C-41's 87-0159 (l/n oct04) and 90-0169 (l/n oct02)
