Aviation history is up to its arse in Globemasters, too...


Either the foreground or the background would qualify as a pretty picture,
doing both is like chocolate and vanilla in the same bucket of
strawberries.



Unless I've mis-Googled, this is Mt St Helens from Ed Carlson ?

Ackshirley, Mt Rainier from McChord AFB (oops - "Joint Base
Lewis-McChord" now) near Tacoma, Washington - about 60 miles south of
my hometown of Seattle. Home base for the 62 AMW C-17's and some Army
folks.



There we go, was being too clever. They both have 16/34 runways, was
too keen to jump at the first one I saw.







Mt Rainier does make for a nice backdrop, and it is more well-behaved
tham Mt St Helens. For now.





It's the quiet ones that you can't trust.....they don't all look alike for
