LOG: USA TOUR FINAL PART (California and Nevada)

GIPS · Post by **GIPS** » 21 Sep 2009, 23:34

Hi All,

Just back from my first USA trip. What a great place is this!!
It was a hoiliday with my girlfriend combined with some spotting.
We had some nice visits during our trip and unfortunately some were cancelled on the last moment.
Most time we had great weather but also some heavy rain at places you wouldn't expect it.
Serials which are not readed by our selves are placed between brackets ( ) and taken from other logs or databases.
That means the rest is readed by ourselves.

Hope you enjoy the final part of this LOG:

The USAF F-16 was here for a new anti collision programm called ACAT/FRRP
Also nice to see some former USAF motor gliders here. They were donated by the USAF.

We had 2 great visits on this base and from outside it is here impossoble to spot.

Some nice visitors here in the weekend.
Probably the crew will have a good one there in vegas!!
Spotting is simple again.

81-0628 C-130H USAF 700th AS blue

Before flying back to Amsterdam we had a stop at Atlanta, so we had some extra time to spot in the area.
Spotting here is terrible!! The worst one during our trip!!

Places were we spotted the based stuff here were:

33°54’44.68’’N 84°29’46.86’’W

That was it, a great time and a great LOG, in my opinion!
I will be going back soon, for sure.

Of course all help, corrections or questions are welcome.

I want to thank everybody who helped me how to spot at the bases I visited, but a special thanks goes to Danny Bonny who gave me a perfect guide for every base!

Happy Spotting in the USA,

Gips and girlfriend

Hi Gijs,

Excellent logging mate! Did you take the next week off to get some well deserved holiday?

Could you pls advise where you saw this bird? Was it standing outside, and were there any other a/c surrounding it? We think we might have seen this a/c stored as well, but no serial read though.

Thanks!

Hi Sjoerd,

Yes it takes me 3 weeks to kick off....

This bird was in the line with some other hornets and the F-16XL

Hope this helps,

Gips

Ten years ago security seized all our films when we asked for a base tour at the gate. I still hate this place!

Great log btw, USA is a fantastic country for every aviation fan...

It certainly does! it was standing next to the stored F-16XL "848" and next to that was a NF/A-18D while we were there. The NF/A-18 turned up at NASNI a little while later that year.

Thanks!
