Here's one of my photo's that I thought looked pretty cool. This was August 2003 at
Schenectady, NY (KSCH). This is home to the Stratton Air National Guard Base. The
109th Airlift Wing flies the ski-equipped LC-130 in support of Antarctic and Polar
Airlift Missions. This was a great show that was really entertaining. It concluded
with the T-Birds doing their thing. Here the solo's are making a mirror image pass
with #5 inverted. This is when the light bulb came on about why the number was
inverted on the aircraft.

Hi Jim,

No, I'm from New Hampshire. I made the trip out just to see the show. Here's one of
the ski equipped 130's making a JATO take off. Stories I've heard say that there
aren't many of these bottles left in the inventory. This shot was from August 2003.
