focalplaneimagery > AT-38C Talon, serial # 68-8165, in-flight over Georgia during a training mission from Moody AFB. The jet is assigned to the 479th Flying Training Group, which will be dissolved soon as a result of the 2005 BRAC recommendations. All 479th training aircraft will be dispersed to AETC bases throughout the country. AT-38Cs of the 479th FTG are the only T-38Cs within AETC that wear an F-16 style paint scheme. The F-16 paint scheme furthers the mindset that the student pilots are no longer operating training aircraft, but because they are in the Introduction to Fighter Fundaments (IFF) program, they are now flying tactical aircraft. The paint scheme is applied in gloss colors for ease of maintenance. Copyright 2006, Greg L. Davis, Aviation Photojournalist. cactusinburner@yahoo.com

focalplaneimagery > Mechanics are the unsung heroes of aviation and this is true in the Coast Guard, as well. Here a crew of maintainers pose for a photo shortly after washing down HC-144A, serial # 2303, at Aviation Training Center Mobile, AL. on 16 June 2008. Shown, from left to right, are: AET3 Jordan Rule, AET3 Michael Zoltek, AET3 Dillon Herbert, AET3 John Warren and AMT3 Jake Eide. The HC-144A is a derivative of the EADS CASA CN-235-300 twin-turbo medium cargo aircraft tailored to the Maritime Patrol and Surveillance mission as part of the USCG Integrated Deepwater System. Ocean Sentry will eventually replace the HU-25. Currently only three aircraft have been delivered and are undergoing Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) at Aviation Training Center Mobile with service entry expected in 2009. © 2008 Greg L.
