USAF Harvards visit Wang

[Guest]

Yesterday we were visited by two USAF Harvard trainers.
I heard them fly over my place directly beneath the glide path of incoming airplanes.
Scrambling the Mazda I headed for the airfield in time to see them take to their wings again

FIRST LET ME APOLOGISE FOR SPITTING THE DUMMY.
I'm afraid I am losing it, I have a terminal disease for which there's no cure...old age.
Secondly I thank Walti, Mark Johnson and Larry Griffith for their undeserved help in getting me through the new convolutions.

Sorry for the learning curve - but certainly in your case it has been well worth it

SPECIAL THANKS TO LARRY FOR COPYING THE HARVARDS FROM MY FLICKR, AND EXPLAINING TO ME OVER THE PHONE HOW IT IS DONE..

It was a pleasure Mark.

When I was about 8 or 9 years old, we lived in the South African city of Port Elizabeth fairly close to the Airport, which also served as a SAAF training base at which there was a squadron of Harvard advanced trainers. Those aircraft were very noisy. Many years later, a friend explained to me that the noise was caused by the tips of the propellors breaking the sound barrier. It sounded plausible to me, but I still don't know whether it is true or not.

Larry, prop tips breaking the sound barrier, plausible I suppose, but those that flew over here were not particularly noisy.

Old age hasn't affected your ability to get a great shot, we can all be thankful for that!

That last plane seems to a reverse flying mode...………...…….

One day you'll notice I've stopped posting and realise it did!

We'll just check the number of red dots under your profile as they slowly peter away!

It is pleasure to see the postings of an old fart.
