47N - 9/3/08

[flyboy 28]

I had some business to attend to with the navy in Somerville today so I figured I'd swing by 47N to see what was going on, and also to keep practicing with my 100-400. Not much, just some transient traffic getting gas.

Caught the strobe!


Caught the beacon!


Oh yeah. The banner guys were doing their thing.




Another on my list of "what-the-hell-is-this-doing-here" helicopters.


Next - an in-depth look at a Banner Cub.

By the way how did you miss read the sign and walk in to the Navy recruitment office and not the Air Force?  So, your going to be a Swabby!!  Better be on a carrier!!  We want to see some great launch shots!!  Good Luck Seaman Tidmann!!
