Some information on the Courtland Airbase.

Opening in 1942 as the Courtland Army Air Field, the field was used to train U.S. Army Air Forces pilots who learned to fly B-25 bombers during World War II. The base had four active airstrips that provided the training space for these pilots who flew the 500 military aircraft parked there. The base was home to more than 1,500 service personnel at the height of its use, but soon was closed due to a U.S. government downsize in 1947.

The former air base is now the George C. Wallace AirPark. The 350 military buildings which used to make up the base have been replaced by cotton fields and trees. The site is also now home to the Valley Landing Golf Course. Businesses now occupy the space where barracks, mess halls, and laundries once were.

In 2005, Tennessee Valley Aero opened its doors offering pilots excellent services and many others the chance to become a pilot themselves.

In April 2009, Tennessee Valley Aero became Tennessee Valley Air Center LLC and continues to offer the same quality services.

Very pretty Mark, and the sunset one too. Is this one at Prestwick? I always thought it would be a good place to photograph things at but never got the chance.

I was told a good story about Prestwick. Everyone here not from the UK, go look at a map of Scotland and notice how there's a lot of islands to the west. Prestwick is right on the western edge of the mainland. One day a visiting F-16 drops in for some fuel, and when he takes off, is told to be at 15,000 feet by the coastline. The local parlance considers 'the coastline' to be after the islands, about 20-30 miles away, only nobody told our F-16 pilot, so he goes vertical..... and promptly has to return for more fuel.....

Dear Jo,

That's hilarious, but I could see how he might think that's what was meant.

Dazz,

Outstanding F-111 shots. It was sitting in the cockpit of one of these that started my love of airplanes. Hey, put a kid in the cockpit of a superfast Air Force Jet and then try and show me someone who hasn't been bitten.

James G, love your HDR work. I'd like to learn the technique you used.
Skyhawk, nice shots of the vapour trails; I dream of getting stuff like that. Where I live the air is relatively dry, and this rarely ever happens.

Now, what would F-4 photos be without lotsa smoke in them?

Nice work. I especially like the lighting of the jetliner and the harrier.

At AirVenture (2007?), Precious Metal collided with P-51 'Stang' (Dazzling Donna), seen below, during landing. Stang is currently being repaired, pilot was ok. Precious Metal flipped over and burned instantly, killing the pilot/owner Gerry Beck.

BA31Driver,

That smoky F4 shot is giving me flashbacks.

That's about all I saw at Nha Trang & Cam Ranh Bay.

What is it about high horsepower machines from the 60s/70s belching out smoke & hydrocarbons. GTOs, Chevelles and of course F4s

Dan, you read my mind. I've always called that plane the GTO of fighter planes.
