@Max Janda: It is! It used to be in the "Axis Nightmare" paint but was repainted for the series.

By the way...If you look at the picture of the VAW-123 Hummer in this weeks photos you'll see what the wings look like after a good wash job.

And may I add that those "black blotches" under the wings are a royal pain in the A__ to clean off. They don't disappear by any means as they permanently stain the paint. The lower tail sections get a good shot of exhaust soot too.

Hey W. Smith, I was with VAW-124 on the America back in '77 - '79 time frame prior to cross decking to Ike with VAW-121
Wisgerhof, yer a wuss. Those boys are US Navy air-crewmen, likely the crew chief and his loadmaster. The only G-loading they are about to experience will shove them back toward the interior of the plane. I'd bet they have never done this during an underway recovery, but over dry land, good weather, no arresting gear, why not? I have 888 combat hours in a UH-1D, open door no retention straps or other impediment to egress, and I'd be out there with them. The view is great!

Between FL180 & FL420 @ above Mach .7, it is much much harder to see that pattern. Effective "Camo" varies with the environment.

I used to fly skydivers in this plane in Cloverdale, CA. I've also jumped from this plane a few times.

As much as I love the 38, I have one question for Kelly. If you're going to the trouble to have counter-rotating props, why oh why would you have maximum adverse yaw for BOTH??? How hard would it be to put the right on the left, and the left on the right?

Nicely done Darryl. Something just a bit different.

Pics of these are plentiful, but somehow, for me, and it's a personal opinion only, this and the landing pic posted a couple of days ago are just that bit above the pack.

Great photo Gman and kind words...thank you - A neat idea you have is we can all meet - maybe something like the next March 2021 SFO Airline Collectible show - plenty of Hotels in the area and planned properly we can get a "California Triangle" SFO-SJC-OAK photo run,,,,though OAK is a terrible airport photog wise it is last on my list to film at. There are other opportunities, or all meet at RNO, plenty of Hotels and Gman Tour guide ......just a thought....the years are advancing and I know I am just a few years behind Gman in Calendars .... we have the SFO airline Collectible show 2x a year ( search Facebook) and funny - just thought, today is 9/26/2020 we were supposed to have our fall Show but we cancelled due to Covid of course...Waaaa

Jay and Jesse are correct, the FAA N number for this bird is: N2871G. The military serial number (or BuNo as Jesse stated) is: 66302. And if you use the ICAO code of: P4Y, FA will show the aircraft type as: CONVAIR Privateer. If you're interested you can check my shot of the aircraft at:

I got to see it back in 2012 at 40G (Valle, AZ airport) when it was wearing different paint. Keep up the good work, Matt!
She is not that fat from this perspective:-)
