Stratton ANGB Visit, October 2005

Post by Jumpshot724 »

Below are some pictures of a base visit we did back in October 2005. We took a tour of Stratton ANGB, and then took a flight on one of their C-130H aircraft over to Niagare falls, did a low intentional missed approach over Niagara JARS and a flyby of the Falls before returning back to Stratton. There are a lot more pictures but these are the only ones anyone on here would really care about lol

The flightline. The LC-130s were actually deploying for their yearly summer over at McMurdo Station, Antarctice / Christchurch, New Zealand. We were inside when they left though so sorry, no shots of them taking off :(

Niagara JARS with the KC-135 line. Little did we know that in 6 months we would visit them and go up in one of their birds lol. See the next installment of this series for those pictures.
