Greetings from Florida USAF E4-B pix

Greetings from Florida,
I am almost set up down here and haven't been to the local airports yet. I will be down here for the next 3-4 months at the Delta Connection Academy working on a few more ratings. I did stop off at (COF) Patrick AFB the other day to get some stuff for my place here and spotted a E-4B on the ramp doing run-up tests. I will post more shots from the area when I get out. I haven't had time yet with setting everything up.

Senga

uh, wow.

I wanna see inside ;)

Nice shots, Senga. I used to see her semi-regularly at Grissom back in the "good old days". Probably once a month we had an E-4B drop in and pull alert for a few days depending on where POTUS was. Back then, they didn't have the VC-25 for Air Force 1, and the E-4B would be used as an airborne command post in the event of "unmentionable" events :wink:

Not a bad way to start photographing ina new place I wish it was something new for me but it was better than nothing. Tom yes Comand post palnes are tracking me :) Maybe thats why I see them so much.
G-BOAD yes I do have a special interest in VIP aircraft and rare planes.

Mario the Hump on the top is a Sensory, Detection System.
If Washington were to be destroyed tomorrow (and everything else) :) these are the planes that would send and recive military commands to and from the battle field.

Senga, what ratings are you getting? Your ATP???

Give me a shout if you head any further south in Florida Senga - I can certainly show you some of the area around PBI.

Hi Matt,
I will be working on my Multi-Engine. I will decide what to do after I get it.
I already hold the Instrument and Commercial.

These pics seal it...the E4-B (in that paint scheme) is officially my favorite 747.

I went to A.net to look at other pics of this particular bird. There's actually a pic of it at JFK from 1977. Oddly, it looks like someone cloned out the top of the fuselage where the big hump should be.
