There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

So....you're on a loose tether in the tail gunner's position of a B-25, the camera's a Nikon D850 using an F1.4 35mm lens.....(?)

Phantastic Phantoms! Those paints are great, indeed. Thanks for a wonderful post!
Just as a side note, those intakes are a great, and very quiet, place for taking a short nap late at night. With the engines shut down, naturally
They're the perfect size for a slender young Marine, and if you make sure your feet are pulled in, you're virtually invisible from the outside.
Thanks again for a wonderful post!

Hmmmm, the background plane is out of focus, but the water is in focus which is further away. Alternative reality?

More Phenominal Phantoms!
I think I'm going into Phantom overload!
Not that I'm complaining, mind. Our Phlyte line at VMFAT-101 had over 32 Phantoms in it's heyday. Granted, they all had the same paint job, and they were all covered in the usual Marine Dirt coating (what in Yuma isn't covered in dust anyway?), as well all the usual Phantom leaks, which attract the dust even more, but they were ours...
Thanks for some great pictures of some really good paints. A little clean for real Marine planes, unless they're at an air show, but hey...

LOL!!
VMFA-232. They were my last squadron's "sister" squadron. We called them "Two-Thirty-Stupid". Inter-squadron rivalries and all that. They and VMFA-333, with whom I was stationed my last year in, would rotate their det's to Iwakuni from Beautiful Beaufort by the Sea. 6 months at a shot. From Iwakuni, other side trips to Osan, Clark, and so on, as well.
When I went to Iwakuni with "Trip-Trash", as they called us, or Trip-Trey as they called themselves, it was 333's last det to Iwa in Phantoms. When we got back, they started transitioning to the F/A-18's, and I was out of a job.
That picture was probably taken right after 232 got back from, or just before they left for, Iwakuni. Right after the plane recovered from some flight, for sure. The drag chute over the left wing is a give-away. The ordies at the final check area they hit on return do that. They just shut the engines down, as well. The droopy flaps indicate 0 hyd pressure. They got to run through the Iwakuni wash rack as they launched for the return flight. Really nice wash-rack, too. Pressure plate to turn on the huge sprayers, big arcing sprays. Controlled by the aircraft's weight on the pressure plate. The birds almost always got a good thorough wash when they left Iwakuni, and when they got back to Beaufort. And/or before they left on det TO Iwakuni.
That's why '101's birds tended to be a bit dirty.
The Sharpshooters never went on det. 101 was where the pilot/RIO teams got their first taste of ACM, and bombing practice, before going to the Fleet. Heavy, heavy flight schedule, very seldom did they have time to hit the wash rack. LOTS of students to run through the syllabus. Maybe when they came out of an Annual, but that's about it. About the only clean parts of a VMFAT-101 plane were the canopy, and the radome. Amazing amount of metal in the Yuma dust. Any external radio or other electronic antennas outside the plane's body usually got a quick wipe as a plane captain went by on daily's, too.
Thanks again. Another little trip down memory lane
