What a spectacular photo of Argentina Air Force #TwinOtter "T-85"!  T-85 was one of the #aircraft overhauled by Viking as part of a heavy maintenance contract with Argentina Air Force back in 2008, and it's great to see her looking so good! Thanks @emilyplay_ for sharing! #avgeek

Royal Air Force @RoyalAirForce

An RAF Atlas completed a record-breaking delivery of 23-tonne cargo load by parachute. The test confirmed Atlas’ ability to deliver heavy loads, such as military equipment, supplies and humanitarian aid, without needing to land.

Transport Canada DHC-8 C-GSUR / ex-Canadian Armed Forces CC-142 142802 at YVR today.


Thanks for that Carl. Low and shiny-red - love it every time a NASP Dash 8 flies overhead  :D

I'd forgotten that 'GSUR was ex-CF. Here's a shot of her in camo back in the day ... and Bill Walker's serial listing for CC-/CT-142s for anyone interested:

Just saw this RCAF Combat Camera Photo of 401 Sqn CF-18s deployed to Norway. Look at the top of the tail. The aircraft is marked with the 401 Sqn WWII Oversea Sqn identifier YO. Have not noticed these markings before on a 401 Sqn CF-18. This aircraft is 188757 YO-R. (RCAF photo)


Photographed this one when I was at Cold Lake this year

Quite the assortment of aircraft there.  Now, if someone will do a conversion for the C-54 to Carvair in both 1/144 and 1/72, there are a fair number of schemes for the airframes produced.

Formaplane did a vacuform conversion for a 1/72 Carvair, got one in the stash. EDIT: actually a full vacuform kit
