A Few from the Area (KGCN)

Postby guesswho531 » Wed Nov 07, 2007 3:38 pm

Hello all, I'm a fairly new member but being Located at KGCN (Grand Canyon Airport) we get some entertaining visitors...
anything from Mil c130's, 737's even Fighters doing "Low Approaches" to GA P-51's prv Jets, Etc...

Anyways, Over some time I've collected a couple photos of guys coming in.. and Figured I would share..


This is what we fly,

Very nice. Shame they're not bigger. Many photos posted on this forum were taken with a similar camera to yours. You should be able to get a reasonable quality at 800 pixel width. You need to adjust the compression when saving the reduced image.

If you have nothing better try resizing/saving the originals in IrfanView

Great shots, we have to get you straighted out on sizing, I also use the 400D, and use Infanview to resize and when you hit save as there will be a slide bar that you move until you get it to the right size. Try it, if you have any questions, there are some great people in here that will help you out. Mark

Nice shots, Jon. Do you happen to have the reg on that 736? It's definitely ex-Lauda. I'd like to find out which branch it's operating for.

Thanks. Did a little digging and found it's being leased by Lauda to the Navy to train pilots on the E-6B platform.

Nice shots.  Lol "Green Weenie" is a very common term used in the USMC for getting screwed over
