Holscher's Hub: Team Spirit, 1987

Back in February 2012 I posted some photos of Team Spirit, 1987.  I did this in a slide show format.

Today, I've reposted some (but not all) of those photos here, but back dated them to be posted on the same date.

Holscher's Hub: Team Spirit, 1987:    .

I did this as I didn't really like the slide show format much, and the photos were smaller than I liked.  Also, for anyone interested in the topic, and it'd be darned few, the slide show is, I think, a bit of a deterrent to viewing it.

This is the C-17 Globemaster III, a larger military transport aircraft.


This specific one, serial 0185, is a  Boeing C-17A Lot XII Globemaster II, and is named "Spirit of America". The "0" in front of "185" may indicate a ten year old aircraft.

Cessna 208B "Caravan" Serial Number N765FE. Click for Larger.

This is a Cessna 208B "Caravan", a fixed wing single engined aircraft, with a turboprop engine. They typically seat nine passengers with a single pilot, but this one belongs to Federal Express and is used for cargo.

This picture was taken at the same airshow as the below two entries, however this plane actually interrupted the airshow. I actually happen to know the pilot.

F-15 E Strike Eagle.  The F-15 E is basically the same as the regular variants of the F-15, however the F-15 can be used for ground attack, rather than the regular F-15's, which are "pure fighters".

All of these are the same F/A-18-D. CLick for full size.

F/A-18D.  The  F/A-18 is a modern, supersonic, and Aircraft Carrier capable fighter/attack aircraft (F/A). It is still in service primarily with the US Navy and US Marine Corps, but also with the Royal Australian Air Force and the Spanish Air Force. 

This was at the Natrona County Airport airshow in 2006. I've got a lot more photos from that airshow, but I wont put them up all at once.

More things you run into at the airport

Privateer, converted into a firebomber, in Greybull Wyoming, along with flying boxcar and the air liner version of the B29.

Back at the same airport, a couple of years later:

Former RCAF flying boxcar.

This is a Lockheed Electra, a classic aircraft that's associated with Amelia Earhart, as that's what she was flying on her tragic transglobe flight.

Natrona County High School Parachuting Club, 1980

These are photographs I took in 1980 while a photographer for the high school newspaper, the Gusher.

In looking back at these, I can only really recognize two people I knew or know, one of whom is the other high school paper photographer.  I recall photographing this for the paper, but I didn't realize, until I went back to scan them in, just how many photographs I'd taken that day.  Quite a number.
