Description
....And say "AAAAAAHHHHHH........"
I'm in the process of going through thousands of old 35mm negatives (anyone remember negatives?? LOL), and scanning them to preserve the images.
This was taken several years ago near Omaha, Nebraska at the old Strategic Air Command Museum next to Offutt Air Force Base. I believe the museum has moved and has a new facility, still close to Omaha.
Anyway, this is looking into the cavernous maw of a...........wait........... Let's make this fun, and see if the airplane fans (or anyone, actually) can guess what aircraft this is! Rob.... Bill..... Niel... What 'cha think? Here's a hint: It's big and no longer in service. :-D That ladder leads to the cockpit,
Work is progressing on both the new workstation table, and Page 20 of the T.N.A. story. I won't leave you all in suspense (too) much longer! LOL Tara says I'm terrible! Hehe - I love it!
Speaking of T.N.A. Page 19 made it onto the Art Charts thanks to you, my friends! The Girls and I thank you very much!
Now, back to work!
Hope everyone has a great weekend! As always thanks for dropping by, and for any comments you wish to leave.

I don't have a clue... but from the loos of it, it was before my time.. maybe... Cool shot!!
Very well taken !!
Beats me, but I made sure Bill knew this was up. I'm sure he'll be along shortly! :)
Here's my first ball going down the alley: C-124 Globemaster! Strike??? Or do I need to roll another ball? lol
Ding, ding, ding, ding! We have a winner! You win a visit from the Girls who will wash your car in string bikinis! After they're finished with Slickie, that is... LOL
This is a very good photo! I'm stumped and I thought I was pretty good!.. Alright, shot in the dark, C-141!
Rod, thank you so much for sharing this very cool capture. You certainly seem to have your hands full going through all of those old negatives.
Time to clean the interior lolllll Congratulations for charts! Have a good day!
great capture and a humongous plane.
Someone could turn that space into a lovely apartment with a little help from Martha Stewart. Or maybe a specialty gym for ex-military. Or think of all the Ho-Hos, Ding-Dongs and Twinkies you could store in there. I think I'm getting nauseous thinking about that one. No idea what it is but it is HUGE.
That is one amazing shot !
It's a cool capture, as it is to hot (37 degrès) during the whole day, I just start to make my comments in the late afternoon, hope you are fine and wish you a very nice weekend!
... my old photography collection disappeared (mysteriously) two wives ago, and memory retains sparse details of four year in the U.S.A.F. (% Flying into the Azores, in a C-47 (Gooney Bird), with a 90 mph cross wind seems to be all that's left of grey matter plane memories, but the C-124 (Old Shakey) may have also been one of those older flights, as there were many . One day I hope also to find old slides and 35mm negatives. Until then I have been advised to try and comprehend a current world, which is also interesting. Congratulations for directing your energies toward, and for achieving your objectives during these changing times. You have a strong positive energy, which seems to produce very impressive results. My only recent accomplishment is a transition from Windows 7 to Windows 10, which is also interesting....
yep, have the negies myself in a drawer.. you had to say Omaha, now i hear Peyton Mannning screaming out that name. but a cool shot of the wide open view, Rod. thanks for sharing. mailed that yesterday. good job T.N.A. girls !!
Excellent results form your conversion from negatives to ,jpg. Back them upon an external hard drive as you go along. I lost over 3,000 converted slides from my Navy years before I got them archived and the original slides had been thrown out! Looking forward to see more!
TNT Chap 19...Congrats of making the art charts!! Well deserved.. negatives??? That is a long time ago...
I remember the Globe master from "The Blob" the original. It dropped the blob in the middle of the arctic in a wood crate, at the end of the movie. Nice picture! Ed.
That's pretty cool Rod. I like seeing these photos. It's good to share.
wonderful shot
Well, I can not guess the model of aircraft though this is a really cool shot. But I do remember negatives all too well.
Love this Rod, quite the construction! Good luck sorting those negatives, have a few myself as well as slides. Maybe this fall I'll follow your track and have a look. :) +5 from doarte's MADHOUSE
Very nice photo!!! Nice one Rod!
Very interesting photo!
Its a Globemaster I think.. m I right lol I only say so because it looks very much like the monster that was inside the USAF Museum at Dayton lol Super close up I couldn't get a close while I was there a band was setting up in front lol Nice! Rob
Checking back I see that Bill got it before me and so he should, he was there when I was lol
