Great shots and a great collection of aircraft. US West is still doing a lot of aircraft painting there. Looks NIKV69 needs to make another trip there, lots of different birds from his previous sorties to ROW.

Re: Roswell experience July 15/2007
is that malaysian a -300 or -400 combi? also, i'll take that C-130 if nobody else is interested... i haven't been to ROW, and the last time i was there it was only a quick stop for breakfast. how do you get on to the airport, do you just walk onto the grounds or did you get prior permission?
Re: Roswell experience July 15/2007
Great stuff Rafal, I wonder what the story is behind the Iwo Jima flag raising decal on that Arrow DC-8

Nice shots, sad to see the MD-11s go to waste :(
Re: Roswell experience July 15/2007
Thanks guys,
Yes, it was well worth to visit that airport. The only problem was the heat.
Those MD-11s are not going to the scrap house. They had UPS registrations and were in the progress to cargo conversion.

Wow. That was painful to look at. I didn't know Roswell had such amazing old stuff. Nice work! BTW, you're banned due to jealousy. ;)

That L1011 is for sale...only $500,000!

Great variety of aircraft you got there, Rafal!
Shame to see that Santa Barbara DC-10 on the chop blocks, I saw her numerous times around Barajas.
Re: Roswell experience July 15/2007
Amazing pictures. Do you have the N numbers on those MD-11's? I would like to see if one of them is old N802DE that burned up at KATL by Delta maintenance. Thanks.

Wow, you sure did catch that dirty little Fokker!
Re: Roswell experience July 15/2007
What a dandy set of birds there. I LOVE the LAB bird. One of my favorite planes right now is the LAB 727.
Re: Roswell experience July 15/2007
N811DE
N802DE
N806DE
This one is N802DE

LAB Cargo 727 was my highlight of the trip followed by Santa Barbara DC-10 :)

You've done it again! Great catches here... very last chance to see so many of these examples.
Thanks for posting,
