Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
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.

C-40 was last seen by me at NAS Fort Worth 14 May, so it should be VR-59. Could also be a visitor off course.

Sorry can't help you with the orion.
Assume makes an ASS of U and ME.

Have you looked at the scramble database? http://www.scramble.nl/milbase.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

It's a shame they're losing their tailcodes. Makes ID-ing it less difficult.

157322 was at Kinloss during Ex Joint Warrior and was apparently from VP-4, NAS Barbers Point, Hawaii.

Sorry to correct you Thijs, but the 834 was last noted from VR-58 and that is based at NAS Jacksonville, home of the P-3.....but you know that more then I do. But hey ...they always could change .....so maybe you're right :)

The C-40 was last noted at Maastricht 2½ weeks ago as 'Convoy 6482'. I'm not sure, but maybe that callsign hints at its unit? Maybe someone knows the digit-ranges used by the various Navy units using 'Convoy'-callsigns?

Regards,

Stephan

I guess VR-58
Tailcode, if there where one, would have been JV=NAS Jacksonville
The C-40 is named "City of Orange Park" and it should be 165834 :D
