Ellington Field June visit 2016
( Best view in PC or Mac)
The month of June 2016 has been a rather interesting one. Intel wise it has been pretty quiet. On the flip side it has opened a new chapter: night photography. Not to be deterred by the lack of intel, I’d periodically stop by early in the morning (before dawn) to see what may be on the ramp. Whatever I found of interest I’d photograph it as seen here. One of my favorites is the NASA hangar that houses their three WB-57s. I’ve been drooling over the idea of capturing it at night for some time now and finally got the chance.
The aircraft seen here are:
T-38C Talon, 19AF (nineteenth Air Force), Randolph AFB, Texas
WC-130J Hercules, 53WRS (Weather Reconnaissance Squadron) Hurricane Hunters, 403WG, Keesler AFB, Mississippi
E/A-18G Growler (BuNo 166895), VAQ-209 Starwarriors, Whidbey Island, Washington
NASA WB-57 hangar
NASA T-38N
L-29 Delfin (privately owned)
F-15C Eagles, 122FS, 159FW, NAS/JRB New Orleans, Lousiana
