Just out of interest, why aren't the safety stencils on the C-130 in Spanish? If that thing goes down in its normal area of operations, there's a good chance of it being the language of the locals that find it... To be honest, that is a question that intrigues me too, but I don't have a certain answer. I think it may be due to the many internacional missions called by the UN that the FAA is taking part on in many places in the world; I think the biggest participation of the FAA is in the MINUSTAH operation in Haiti, and that could be a reason for the english stencils.

Lovely shots Thanks for posting a pretty rare selection of images. I particularly enjoyed seeing the Lincoln! I hope that the museum does some restoration work on it...

Acatually Pablo the biguest activity for the FAA, is UNFICYP - in Cyprus, Minustah - Haiti, is the biguest ground contingent, the FAA has the mobile hopspital there, and a few helicopters. We also have U.N. peacekeepers in Kosovo, a few missions in Africa and Asia.
Grate pictures. By the Way the A-4´s flying ar A4-AR, (ex M) not B nor C. And I also hope to see some restauration done on the Lanc. They also have a very well maintanied Ju 52.

Baco It's not a Lancaster, it's a Lincoln. It's an important distinction because they are even rarer than the Lanc (I believe that this one is one of only four left in the world).

And I also hope to see some restauration done on the Lanc. They also have a very well maintanied Ju 52. Well, if you look closely to the Lincoln photo, you can see the gray sillouette of the Ju-52 behind the Lincoln. The problem with this two planes is that they are too big to fit inside the hangars of the museum, that are already packed with many planes; so, they are heavily exposed to the birds and weather.
