The T-38 was still parked in the same location for a couple of weeks now. Seems like this one is unserviceable and will most likely receive some repairs in the near future.

Hi,

Got the second serial: 68-8196/VN

By the way, the canopy of the 369 was open and 2 guys were at the plane (working?)

Nice to see a Dallas Love Field P-3 of the NAWC-23. Unfortunately they do not carry any markings nor their BuNo visibly on their aircraft. Therefore it remained unkown.

T-38C 65-10369 was not noted today so hopefully the issue the USAF may have experienced has been resolved.

Tally,

Nice log, thanks for posting. Can you please confirm the FY for EN T-6A -3915 please as I think it should be FY07 not FY08?

16 April 2011
Before going to the Air Power Expo at "Navy", we had a look at Alliance to see what was up there.
Although the place was not packed, some nice aircraft good be spotted.
In the southwest corner, a C-5 was being prepared to ship two Bell helicopters, so we took a look there first.
The registration of these helicopters was behind the opened doors, so we could not read those.
We drove back to the main ramp near the tower, awaiting for sun rise, to take some shoys on the aircraft.
While we waited, Prowler crew arrived which allowed us to take pictures of their aircraft. Thank you crew!
The Prowler was on its way from Whidbey Island to Pensacola? for some maintenance and was the ICAP III variant.
Top Tip from their crew, the ICAP III do not have the bucket on the end of the ECM pod on the tail, but do have small pods on the end of the aft side of the wing.

86-0019 C-5B 439 AW/337 AS/AFRC, loading two Bells 412s, in grey, dark grey c/s, at SW freight apron.

08-3923/RA T-6A 559th FTS

After the show we returned to see some changes. Furthermore we met Tally and Addeur Noir, great to see you guys!

Hi Piet,

Good to see you at Alliance. Hope your flight was uneventful but pleasant.

The C-5 came in as "Reach 127" and the T-38 as "Randy 36" on Friday, April 15.

Cheers.
