Éste Aardvark me garcó:
Puedo identificar que es un integrante de la 48 TFW de RAF Lakenheath pero que tenga los cuatro colores juntos en el borde superior de la deriva me quemó el libreto. Usualmente cada uno de los cuatro escuadrones llevaba un solo color.-
Quizás sea un ejemplar especial (¿jefazo?) o una ocasión especial, como la baja del modelo.-

Justamente, el avión del Wing Commander, Coronel Tom Lennon, el 72-1448 LN CN E2-78, el llamado Miss Liberty II, de la 48 TFW, en RAF Lakenheath, hoy en el Museo Dayton, en Ohio.

Hoy ha caído otro de mis "TOP 10" más buscados ´desde que empecé el blog, que se dice pronto. Hasta ahora sólo había visto los interceptados por la US Navy (debajo), el ejemplar destrozado que está en una esquina de un aeropuerto en Trípoli y fotos de satélite. Esta es la primera foto que veo de un Tupolev Tu-22 "Blinder" libio con su escarapela de la época de Gadaffi, en estado aparentemente operaciónal (por lo menos en el momento en que se tomó la imagen). Ignoro dónde y cuando está realizada, pero es sencillamente... ¡¡Brutal!! Foto cortesía de "Belgrano1977".

Así eran a su llegada a Libia en Abril de 1.977. El F-4N que le intercepta sobre el Mediterráneo pertenece al escuadrón VF-51. En el momento de la intercepción volaban dos Tu-22 libios. Existen más imágenes de este encuentro.

U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Steven Myers, B-1B Lancer pilot, completes a flight in the first newly upgraded operational B1-B Lancer Jan. 21, 2014, at Dyess Air Force Base, Texas. The B-1B Lancer was recently upgraded with an Integrated Battle Station. The IBS program is the largest B-1B Lancer modifications in history. The three-part modification begins with the installation of the Integrated Battle Station and upgrades to cockpit displays, improved diagnostics and a fully integrated data link. With the integration of these upgrades, the B-1 will provide combatant commanders a highly effective tool to sustain air power through the fruition of a next-generation bomber. These upgrades ensure the B-1B Lancer remains a capable and ready air power asset when called on through its scheduled 2040 service life. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt.

Steven Myers, both B-1B Lancer pilots, complete a flight in the first newly upgraded operational B1-B Lancer Jan. 21, 2014, at Dyess Air Force Base, Texas.

The VSDU upgrades the B-1's forward cockpit by replacing two unsupportable, monochrome pilot and co-pilot displays with four multifunctional color displays, giving pilots more situational awareness data in a user-friendly format.
