CB1100 Monthly Photo Challenge

Max: That is a unique snap.

I was making a Costco run on the way home from work tonight and came across a perfect military photo subject, especially since it’s across the street from Costco. Quite convenient.

The Tustin blimp hangars were originally used to house coastal defense blimps during WWII.

They’re quite long...

Gin60: Unique indeed. Can't say I have seen one before, especially with a gorgeous CB in front of it. What's inside these days? A Wal-mart?

The lengthwise one in the photos is now an event space. Most recently the release of the C8 Corvette was held there. The other one, from what I’ve heard, is eventually scheduled for demolition. It is being held up on one end with an external gantry and guy wires.

You have definitely seen the interior of the hangar in movies. It’s frequently used for that purpose for secret bad guy laboratories, aircraft hangars, etc.

Wow, turret guns and blimp hangers! This month's challenge is getting interesting. What's next?

 

[GoldOxide_imp]

A CB and a submarine.

NYC members?

Uber up the ante:

A CB and Fat Man (replica).

Or San Francisco, they have a sub too, and a Liberty ship. If I had any spare time, I'd motor out to the SS Lane Victory in Long Beach, or the USS Iowa in San Pedro. They're big and grey, can't miss 'em. Hintedy-hint-hint to you L.A. guys in the South Bay area...
Fat Man? Anyone near the Nuclear Museum in Albuquerque? I believe they have one in the parking lot...

 

[KiowaEagle_imp]

There's a sub at Penn's Landing in Philadelphia and the battleship New Jersey (Iowa class) is directly across the river in Camden for those on the east coast.

Hey, anyone in San Diego? I hear they have a few Navy ships floating around down there someplace.

Outstanding, as usual, alprider!

 

[GoldOxide_imp]

Interesting Alprider. I wonder if it saw any kind of field action?

 

[RockHop_imp]

The Northrop T-38 Talon is a two-seat, twinjet supersonic jet trainer and was the world's first supersonic trainer.
The first class to use the Talon at Reese Air Force Base graduated in 1963. The base was closed in 1997 and is now the Reese Technology Center on the West side of Lubbock, Texas

The plane is located outside the Science Spectrum, which is a science and technology museum and aquarium in Lubbock.

No background on this one. Parked outside National Guard complex in Lubbock.

I see a tank in the background and a CB1100 in the foreground.

Looks monthly challenged to me.

All righty, I'll play.
Rode out in the rain (and 45 degrees) for this collection of statues. There are three bronze gods chained to a wall in an out of the way office park in Falls Church, VA. I don't know why they are there or who they belong to. They are very intricately detailed and about 10 feet tall. You can't see them from the road and I had to ride up several sidewalks to get the shot. But that's just how much I care about sharing with you guys


Bonus shot. This little guy is right there, too.
