• 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.

Great pics those,the long line of OV-10s is at McClellan in Sacramento."two three zero" is based at Grass Valley in fire season,i see it fly over my house often,if they are heading anywhere in the lower half of El Dorado county,they pass over me.speaking of which,i hear the pilots talking on the radios often and im always hearing,"overhead 25 Auburn",is it proper flying to over fly an airport when passing one?....ive always thought this is so any airplanes climbing out from an airport have room...this correct?

one time when my buddy Bill took me flying with him,a cherokee,we were passing Beale but were well outside the base area,but suddenly i saw flashing lights on my side and realised a C5 (yes it was!)was coming up on us ,just below and to our right,about 100 yards away.suddenly a very angry voice boomed over 122.750..."piper descend immediately !!!".....scared me blue..Bill just cussed and we went down a few hundred feet in less than an eye blink,,or so it felt...
 
I never understood why the OV-10 did not become a huge success in the general aviation market. It is tailor made for so many applications. It would be a truly outstanding pipeline and powerline survey aircraft.
