I second that question. Where was it taken Yemen? Libya?

Are you referring to the Douglas A-26 Invader? :?:


I figured he was talking about the OV-10, since it does have twin booms.....

Sorry, I didn't see the original question. I took that picture at Sana'a, Yemen. Unfortunately the windows on the plane were pretty dirty and I seem to remember being zoomed all the way out and my camera doesn't always do well under those conditions. The wrecks were on the other side of the runway. I don't remember seeing the airframe to the left when I took the picture. I looked at the original and it doesn't look any different than the one I posted. I wish I could have taken better, close up pictures but the Yemeni folks aren't the most receptive folks to photography. Especially when the photographers are in a USAF plane.

Speaking of "bitchy little girls", did you run these pics by the boys in Langley, VA?

I hear that they need all the help they can get these days!

I don't see anything that looks like a Venom in that pic but are we referring to what looks like the rolling fuselage frame of a tail-dragger ... maybe, dare I say it, a biplane of some sort?

Great pics, Brad.
