The dog beach on Coronado Island butts up to North Island NAS Halsey field and while playing around there today this big-boy came in for a landing.

Another very interesting aircraft, CASA 2111E/Heinkel He-111


CASA 2111E/Heinkel He-111 by Dave9072, on Flickr

This aircraft was manufactured as B2-H-155 in 1950, but due to a lack of engines was put into storage. In 1956, it was modified to photographic and map making configuration and fitted with Merlin engines. It was accepted by the Spanish Air Force on December 14, 1956 as B2-I-27, to serve with the Spanish Air Force Cartographic Group. In 1968, it was painted in German colors and used in the film "Battle of Britain". From 1970 to 1972, it was operated by 403 Squadron from Cuatros Vientos, near Madrid, Spain. In November 1972, it was transferred to 406 Squadron at Torrejon, Spain. In January 1974, it was transferred to 46 Group in Ganda, Canary Islands, and active in the Spanish campaign in the Western Sahara. On January 21, 1975, B2-I-27 was returned to the air armaments factory in Seville, officially listed as surplus, and placed into storage. From all available information, it appears that B2-I-27 was the last CASA 2.111 in active service with the Spanish Air Force.

The Cavanaugh Flight Museum added B2-I-27 to its collection in 1995. The aircraft is painted in the color scheme of Kampfgeschwader 51 (KG51) "Edelweiss", of the German Luftwaffe of World War

Hopefully it will fly again someday. Photo taken 09/29/12 at the Cavanaugh Flight Museum in addison Texas

Antiquer's Aerodrome, a community with a private airstrip is behind the fire department. Unfortunately, this is the only view from there.

B-17 Aluminum Overcast

The name on the aircraft is a tribute to the more than 12,000 B-17 produced and all those involved with the aircraft during WWII.
