Remarks: Look at the paint on this. Looks like a new chopper for the University of Cincinnati Air Care team, with school colors. Sharp looking paint scheme.
Remarks: 165th Airlift Squadron, 123rd Airlift Wing, Kentucky ANG out of Louisville Int'l (KSDF).Kentucky ,doing a few training runs in this area today. Here at hangar 4 at Lunken with some nice December weather.
Remarks: Erickson was established in 1971 in Central Point, Oregon by Jack Erickson. Originally the Sikorsky S-64 Skycrane, the type certification and manufacturing rights for the S-64 were purchased from Sikorsky Aircraft by Erickson Air-Crane in 1992. Since that time, Erickson Air-Crane has become the manufacturer and world's largest operator of S-64 Aircranes and has made over 1,350 changes to the airframe, instrumentation, and payload capabilities of the helicopter.
Here's "Annie" sitting at hangar 4 at Lunken on a beautiful sunny afternoon about 30 minutes before sunset, and in this area to do some work in downtown Cincinnati at the Paul Brown football stadium.
Remarks: This is one good looking well kept aircraft. I have never seen Sun Country at KCVG or Lunken. Here she is about 3 hours before Gov. Mitt Romney arrived in his DC9 for more campaign duty in Cincinnati. I'm guessing this was a charter flight.
Remarks: Don't see too many of these at this airport. Arrived about 2 hours before Gov.Mitt Romney flew in for another campaign stop before the election. I guess a charter flight.
Remarks: Love these big Falcons. Great spot to watch & click from the bike trail around the airport. This one heading into 21L and right over the 1st green on the golf course. Notice the green tinge under the wings from all the grass reflection.
