Hot Damn!

Thank you for the link to the Airliners website. I was able to find an image of an aircraft that is on static display at my hometown airport, which I have been actively searching for since last night, after stumbling upon rlmorel’s thread. I remembered the Clansmen squadron moniker being on an aircraft that I saw many times and wanted to track it down to present to rlmorel, as he may have actually had a professional working relationship with this bird. In particular, I now have an aircraft number to identify the a/c by - 304... and there is what appears to be another identifier number - 158026, on the fuselage in front of the left horizontal stabilizer.

LTV A-7E Corsair II - USA - Navy

ABOUT:

This A-7 was TOC by the USN around 1972 and was deployed with VA-46 aboard USS John F. Kennedy for during Operation Desert Storm. After retirement, it was transferred to the Naval Air Technical Training Command at NAS Memphis, TN, and assigned as a ground trainer. It is now on display at the Heritage In Flight Museum in Logan County.

For the likes of me, I cannot get past the protections on the website so I have been stymied in my efforts to post an image, link or address, without the code expanding sideways and running off the page.

That's terrific, freepersup.  Google images is terrific at finding pics.

As for the troubles with posting big images, have you tried putting a specific width on the image?  There are limits on the size FR will allow.  Anything over 800 pixels is maybe too much because you are slowing down the loading of the page for everyone.  In that case, send a link to the image and maybe find a smaller image to post as an example.

The syntax for posting an image is:

< img width=800 src=http:///site.com/myimage.jpg>
