September's flight demonstration at the National Museum of WWII Aviation featured their PBY Catalina N427CV.

#pbycatalina #nationalmuseumofwwiiaviation #planespotting #aviationphotography #wwiiaircraft #wwiiaviation #coloradosprings #KCOS #fujifilm
A classic PBY Catalina flying boat soars across a sky filled with dramatic white and gray clouds. The plane is angled away from the viewer, showcasing its brilliant yellow wings, silver body, and US military insignia. A PBY Catalina flying boat with its landing gear down makes a low pass over an airport runway. In the background, several C-130 military transport planes are parked in front of an Air Force Reserve hangar and a tall air traffic control tower under a partly cloudy sky. A dynamic, close-up shot of a PBY Catalina seaplane as it banks in flight against an overcast sky. The image highlights the top of its bright yellow wing with US military roundels and its silver fuselage. A person can be seen inside the distinctive bubble-shaped observation blister on the side of the aircraft. A PBY Catalina seaplane is captured in level flight, showing its full side profile. The aircraft features bright yellow wings, a light gray boat-hull fuselage, and its wingtip floats are extended. The registration number "N427CV" is clearly visible on its side.

P-47 Thunderbolt flying by at the National Museum of WWII Aviation's monthly flight demonstration.

#p47 #p47thunderbolt #nationalmuseumofwwiiaviation #planespotting #aviationphotography #wwiiaircraft #wwiiaviation #KCOS #coloradosprings #fujifilm
A wide shot showing a P-47 Thunderbolt aircraft flying in the distance above a group of people watching from below. The aircraft is silhouetted against a slightly smoky blue sky with a few wispy clouds. The group is diverse in age and attire, some are looking up, and a few are taking pictures. The foreground includes a dirt mound and a parked pickup truck. Trees and buildings are visible on the horizon. A dynamic shot of a P-47 Thunderbolt aircraft banking in a clear blue sky with some scattered white clouds. The silver aircraft features a black and white checkered cowling, a white star within a blue circle on the wing and fuselage, and black lettering and numbers including "549385" and "WZ". The propeller is spinning rapidly, indicated by the blur. The cockpit is visible with the pilot inside. A close-up, low-angle shot of a P-47 Thunderbolt aircraft in flight. The plane is predominantly silver with a black and white checkered pattern on the front cowling and black and white stripes on the tail. A pilot wearing a helmet and goggles is visible in the open cockpit. The propeller is blurred, indicating motion, and a white star within a blue circle is visible on the wing. The background is a clear, light blue sky.

Actually, you know what? Let’s stop complaining for a second. QT this with a GOOD airport. Defend that title as much or as little as you like. But let’s hear about airports that don’t suck.

More air tanker action at KCOS yesterday. Tankers 911 and 914 from 10 Tanker Air Carrier both stopping by throughout the day to top up on fire retardant.

#dc10 #dc10tanker #planespotting #colorado #coloradosprings #KCOS #aerialfirefighting #coloradowildfires #tanker911 #tanker914 #N603AX #N17085
A DC-10 air tanker, with its landing gear down, is photographed in a side profile view as it approaches for a landing. The aircraft is painted white with a vibrant orange and red livery, and the words "10 TANKER" are visible on the fuselage. The number "10" is also visible on its tail fin. A large, low-flying DC-10 air tanker, painted in white and a striking orange and red pattern, is seen from a rear-quarter angle against a partly cloudy sky. The number '10' is prominently displayed on the tail fin, and the aircraft's landing gear and flaps are deployed.
