The greatest part of life is change. There was a time when everyone was convinced that human flight was impossible. And the Wright Brothers could not have possibly envisioned aircraft the size of a B747 or A380 would ever come into existence. Nor could they have ever envisioned the Concorde and supersonic flight.

@peter junk. Thank You. This was shot with a Nikon D-810 (bought used) and Sigma 60-600 lens (bought on sale and used credit card cash back money which I let build up for like three years) so it was very affordable.

This also reminds me of the old USAF MAC livery. I'd love to see one each C5 and C17 in "retro" livery. I think it would be a good image for the USAF and good for morale. When I was in, the new AMC commander in 1993ish had a 141 in the retro livery and decked out in full DV configuration. However, today's Air Force won't go for that.

I believe the correct registration for the aircraft is 86-24548. Beautiful photo!

This ia a very cool picture, Uwe! I like it a lot! And I got to see the Goodyear blimp once while I was in Germany. It was around 1985, or 1986, in the vicinity of Kaiserslautern. It was flying very low and slow, westbound, right along the A-6 autobahn. Anyway, it was pretty impressive. Oh, and I meant the ICAO Special Designator for an airship is: SHIP. That is the code FlightAware wants for the Aircraft Type. I realize that isn't the registration/identification code for this aircraft.

The DLR and logo on the fuselage stands for: Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt, or German Aerospace Center. (I thought I would mention that for Uwe.)

I got an up close look today Lancaster and I see drainage pipe removed and reinstalled. Still in dirt work stages so like you mentioned I don’t believe it will be anytime soon. I miss planes landing south they were always so good to spot but maybe one day

The hump on the left side of the aircraft is door which would open in flight to open a view of the sky to the telescope. There is an extra pressure bulkhead forward of the telescope to allow the rest of the interior to be pressurized for the crew.
Written on 16.04.2024 by Greg Byington
They opened the aircraft to allows folks to go inside for a look around and a quick briefing. The telescope has been removed, but you wouldn't be able to see it anyway because it was behind a pressure bulkhead. In any case, a very cool airplane.

More info from the PASM website:
"In 1997 the aircraft was bought by NASA for a joint project with the German Aerospace Center (DLR). The project named SOFIA, Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, was an airborne infrared observatory that could fly above 99 percent of the infrared blocking atmosphere.
"L-3 Communications in Waco, Texas was contracted to make the heavy modifications to the 747SP that were necessary to install a 20-ton, 8.9-foot-wide telescope and all the support equipment. SOFIA’s first flight was April 26, 2007, and was finally ready for full observations in 2014. Being a mobile observatory allowed SOFIA to conduct research from almost anywhere in the world. SOFIA flew around 100 flights a year primarily flying out Palmdale, California and Christchurch, New Zealand.
"In November 2021 it was decided to cancel the SOFIA program due to the high operating cost. On December 13, 2022, SOFIA flew from Palmdale to Davis Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, AZ for display at the Pima Air & Space Museum."

The F16 almost seems bigger than the Mitchell. And it would certainly be much heavier at maximum weights!

The runway is still usable, it is just down to either cargo, charter, or military traffic. The latter is usually just approaches for touch and goes or missed approaches. The work in on taxiway Alpha just aside the terminal area. How long the work will be going on, I have no idea sadly. With how long the runway itself was closed, I have little faith it'll be soon.

I live near an air base with a permanent station for the A-10. I love these planes. The cannon and its power is stunning. And it shows the failure of current military leadership. When pitching the F-35-Joint Strike Fighter (JSF), the A-10 was one of the platforms that would be replaced. The JSF was a boondoggle from the beginning and the military leadership should have known it. Just on the A-10 issue, the JSF does NOT have a cannon, it cannot fly as slow, it cannot loiter over a battlefield as long, and cannot carry as much other armament. But DOD leadership stopped demanding tools of excellence and instead looks at every new aircraft as some kind of Christmas tree to hang more and more and more ornaments. End result, jack of all trades and master of none.

Also, despite the claims to replace so many air platforms with a single plane, we ended up paying for the development of 3 different planes as there are major differences between the A, B, and C variants.
Keep the A-10 as it is a master of its task.
Mille Grazie !!
