Scott AFB, Air Fest 2006

Modeling Subjects Aircraft

I spent 7 hours out at Scott Air Base today baking what’s left of my brain and took 384 photos of the display aircraft. They include one each of several aircraft and multiple shots of: AN-124, B-1, B-17, B-25/PBJ, C-17, C-5, C-2/E-2, E-3, C-54, KC-135, LB-30, Me-208 and T-38, plus some in flight shots of Mig-17, T-28, WW-II birds, P-51 with F-15, etc. I am in the process of figuring out a place to post them that is accessible without tieing up a bunch of space on this forum. Let me know if you are interested in something in particular. A few samples are attached and URL for other photos are listed at the end of this post

I have posted 18 photos of the Russian AN-124 on photobucket at the following URL. You should be able to left click on the thumbnail and get a larger version. These photos are not copyrighted, but I would appreciate it if you used them only for personal reference. Someone please let me know if it works for your access. Thanks, Darwin

B-1

Messerschmitt made several hundred tail dragger Me-108 utility aircraft and then designed the tricycle gear Me-208 and made only two before the war ended. The French took over the design and made about 200 which they called the Nord 1000. This machine is one of the French built versions.

Very cool - My dad (and therefore, me) was stationed at Scott for eight years. I’ve seen some sweet airshows there.

Sorry, no F4U on display. The WW-II fighters were conspicuously absent. Vlado Lenoch’s P-51D being the only one. There was the single engine TBM and the Korea/Viet Nam AD-5 Skyraider but none of the more “well known” fighters from WW-II.
