My Central California Pilgrimage, Pictures (Reno Posted)

[mrhenniger]

I found my way to Carson. I was hoping to spot a number of HU-16s on the ramp. I was able to find one at the location I had assigned to American Warbirds.

Someone graciously allowed me access to the ramp and I was able to get some nice shots as a result.



I then continued my trek around the airport to see what I could see. I was able to find a few more airframes of interest. You can find their locations marked here when I spotted them...

I left Carson city and headed north for Reno. I was planning on stopping at the airport to get photos of the F-4 at the ANG gate. Finding a place to park while taking a photo is very difficult to do. I did get a shot, but it wasn't as nice as Andy West's, so I'll just post his here.

I was then off to the hotel to sort through my photos.

The remainder of the trip was spent at the races. I'll upload a selection of photos in the near future.

Great Pics Mike!!!!

Your 1st Huey 67-17146 Served in Vietnam from Nov 68 to Feb 71 with the 281 Aslt Helicopter,155 ASLT and 61st AHC

Your 2nd Slick on the pole, 66-16654 from Sept 67 to AUG 70 serving with the 335th ASLT, and 170 Aslt in Vietnam. It looks like she had a habbit of picking up stuff with her rotor wash!!! on 9-7-68 she picked up some PSP from the rotor wash and ripped off a skid. Then in Feb 69 a Cooking pan lid blew off from a RVN soldier and came up and hit the main rotor blade causing damage.

You got some good girls on film

Mike, You truly are on a mission! Nice pics.

Mike:

Great set of photos as well as a very nicely planned aviation oriented trip...my kind of vacation!!! Sorry that we did not connect up at Mather Field on 9/11. I wish I had known that you had the T-33 in Los Gatos included in your intinerary as I live THREE blocks away. Prior to the T-33 there was a FJ-4 Fury.

Keep the photos coming!!!

Awesome pics Mike. I've done a lot of museum trips where I try to hit five or six in four days or so but never done quite as extensive a driving trip hitting even the roadside hulks. I need to do that some day soon.

[eallen]

In the continued spirit of better late than never I have posted the last of my pics. I realize Reno is in Nevada and not California, but I thought I would include these photos in this thread as they were part of the same trip.

Since this is Reno, I'll start with the racers. Enjoy the pics!

Mike

The rest of the pics are either from the "Heritage" area or just other shots around the airport.

Enjoy!
