Ooops, I'm mistaken. It's B-17 Liberty Belle flying out of Jabarra Airport about 2 miles away this weekend. I cought such a short glimpse of it I mistook it for a B-29. I saw windowed nose and 4 engines.

Don't see 'em, but I do hear 'em: "Mig-Cap" over Obama's Chicago TFR.
Eerie, over the city......no aircraft what-so-ever.......no gen-av, no life-flight, very little airline. Aviation here is suppressed.
(Same sounds as the few weeks after 9-11. The fighter cover back then was 24/7; could see 'em also at night with tankers & AWACs)

It was a little difficult figuring out what it was from this far away.

I got bored and drove over to the runway fence and snapped these about 15 minutes ago.

These four T-38C Talons were sitting on the tarmac at McGhee-Tyson Airport (KTYS) Alcoa, TN (near Knoxville) Saturday and Sunday. The planes are from the 87th Flying Training Squadron, "Red Bulls", Laughlin AFB, TX. I guessed they might be in for a local Memorial Day flyover, but could find no info of such. The photo was taken by my friends point and shoot, outside the fence, late in the day Sunday.

They were about as loud as six Huey's.., I could hear them about as far off as a Huey.., they were just a spot on the horizon and they sound like they were overhead.., GOLLY.., what a loud machine.., now their engines were at about a 60 degree angle up. Just slowly flying down the hudson.., over NYC. Are they louder in this engine up attitude..,or are they just a loud bird.., period!
Thanks!
Finally got the shots up!
They made one pass down the Hudson, around the SOL and back up.., LOUD AND SLOW.., thought she was a Huey hybrid intially as i heard the blades and engine about 3 minutes before I could even make out what they were!!!
