Special E3 at EGNT

Postby F3Hadlow » Mon Dec 12, 2005 10:05 am

Had two E3 Sentry aircraft performing missed approaches at Newcastle Int. Airport today. A pleasent surprise was that one of them was the special 90th Anniversary tail scheme from 8/23 squadron. Heres a pic I took, the quality isn't superb but the approach is 4 miles away from here and I'm facing into the sun so can be excused :D .

I know you did! I was following one of them! I don't know if you'd have seen me in the overhead at 9000ft! Unfortunately they were too busy for us to shoot an approach...

Nice shot! ;D

Thanks guys.

What were you flying in?

Saw a pair of these overhead at the same time as well, you weren't in one of these were you? ;)

I did see a Tucano coming in to the approach at one point whilst the Sentrys were about, could that have been you?

Even cooler!! :o :o ;D

Thanks :)

In that case I probably did see you. I do have a photo of the Tucano I saw but it's a terrible quality shot (Tucanos aren't too big four miles away ;) ).

Well that may well be me if you were shooting into sun (ie South!)

(Now confirmed as the first official sighting due to time and location checks etc ;D)
