Butternubs Visits an US Naval Base
27 September 2015 - 07:17 AM
I had the privilege recently to attend a "bring your kids to work day" at a naval base. (My friend's dad actually works there so i got to tag along). Got to see some cool stuff. I know we have a few plane lovers here on Brohoof so I thought I'd share. Since the base wasn't open to the entire public yet, we got to get up close and personal with some of the most advanced and coolest aircraft of the worlds most powerful military (and some oldies). We also got to see the Blue Angels do a practice show.
Modern Aircraft
Unmanned Helicopter: Unmanned aircraft is a big part of the future.

Cockpit and Exterior of HAWKER MK-58 HUNTER: A British jet aircraft which was retired in the mid-1990s, they are used for target practice (along with some old Israeli fighter jets) to test new missiles and other technology.


EA-18G Growler: Part of a new type of warfare, electronic warfare. Basically this planes main duty is to make the enemy blind and deaf. In those tubes along the underside of the wing, are antennas capable of emitting differing frequencies to blind enemy radar and jam basically anything. These saw action in Libya in Operation Odyssey Dawn. Price tag: ~$68 million

The tubes are made with wrapped Kevlar which is strong and light.
There's the pilot. Not sure if he is Brotein or Koko.

E-2C Hawkeye: U.S. Navy's all-weather, carrier-based tactical airborne warning and control system platform. It provides all-weather airborne early warning and command and control functions for the carrier battle group. Has a three-million-cubic-mile surveillance envelope. Price Tag: $80 million.

F/A-18 Hornet: No missiles included (they would be on the rails underneath the wings). Very deadly.

More info on the planes above can be found here
Big Bad Transports
It is a wonder these planes can make it off the ground. Got to walk inside these.
C-130: They've been making these since the 50s. Two of these big boys were fighting fires in Northern California that day. Fact sheet here

C-5 Super Galaxy: This thing blew my mind. Its a variant of the C-5 Galaxy. Capable of carrying Apaches, tanks, strykers, MRAPS, and of course troops.The aircraft can carry a fully equipped combat-ready military unit to any point in the world on short notice and then provide the supplies needed to sustain the fighting force.

B-52 Stratofortress: Another plane that has been made since the 50s and is planned to be used until 2045 (nearly 90 years!) . The reason its stuck around? The USAF continues to rely on the B-52 because it remains an effective and economical heavy bomber. Basically why fix what ain't broke. Fact sheet here


NOT A SAFE PLACE TO BE
Oldies but Goodies
Here are the oldies. (I am not good with plane names, so if you recognize some feel free to post below)
WW2 Bomber (would not have had the seats you see through the window, also would have had a gun in the back)

Old planes tend to be very leaky.


Japanese Zero Fighter (on the left): I believe its 1 of 3 which are still flying in the entire world.

So shiny and chrome.
