Airplanes

Flight Aware's weekly newsletter always includes a bunch of photos. Most of them are usually airliners which don't hold much interest for me, but occasionally there are other things in there as well and today we got a bunch.

Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress
The B-17 has been mentioned here before, once or twice.

C-17 at St Maarten
These kind of photos are fairly common on Flight Aware, though
 the target is usually an airliner, not a military cargo aircraft.
The C-17 has been here before.

De Havilland Canada Twin Otter at Svetlaya
Svetlaya is on east coast of Russia, equidistant from Red China & Japan

North American F-100 Super Sabre at Oshkosh
This one is a real blast from the past. I had toy model of one when I was a kid,
and it will always be my ideal of what a jet fighter should look like.

COVID-19 strikes again
Alaska airliners parked at PDX

SHINMAYWA US-2 at Iwakuni, Japan,
possibly flying in from its normal operating base in the middle of the ocean.
Iwakuni is on Honshu, the main island.

If you ever get a chance to ride in a B-17 I recommend it highly.
