Hey Andy,

Nice to see some of the overseas aircraft around. Made me remember something though. Do other guys at the base get excited about foreign aircraft, or is it just "another Globemaster" to them. I have a buddy who is based out at Trenton as well, and there were a few Swiss F-18s there some time ago, and everyone there couldn't care less..."another Hornet", while he thought that was really cool to see. It seems that maybe the airshow fans at Trenton are the only ones who appreciate visiting aircraft.

Paul

Another cool transient in CYTR from the 'you don't see this everyday' file. Unfortunately couldn't get a good picture because I had the camera off and was sitting in my car right when they busted out of the low cloud layer... let's see who can ID the type!

That's a rare one around here. TU-154, I think.

Paul is correct! Paul wins! But more importantly, Vox loses. Very rare (unlike the AN-124s). It's actually been here 3-5 times over the past year and a half. Always cool to see a classic Russian trijet on the ramp.

Do you know why it is here? Is it just used to move people, or does it have some other military use now? And for my prize, you can buy the first round next time!
