S M Tang 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2011 (edited) Went to SZB today hoping to catch the Omega Tanker but it landed before I arrived. Some average shots to share as I was on the wrong side of the light <_> 9M-TAK touching down with some x-wind No Omega Tanker but at least I managed to catch this one. Searched A.net for more info and the only picture they have was a shot by Hon Kit. Any info about this plane? Edited May 8, 2011 by S M Tang Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MIR 2 Report post Posted May 9, 2011 (edited) Marvellous!! It looks really good with those new 8-bladed composite props. Seems that it has the VRC-40 'Rawhides' DET 5 markings so referring from gonavy.jp, that greyhound may be attached to USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier Edited May 9, 2011 by MIR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
