I have driven around Gettysburg, but I did not see this.

Thanks again,

Greetings one and all it's time for the Saturday Sortie. Since August 4th is the United States Coast Guards's birthday how about some Coast Guard aviation pics. And Brian these are for you as well.

First up a head on pic of a HH-65 Dauphine IIRC

Next up a C-130 out of the Elizabeth City station. I bet that Hercules glows in the dark :-)

Another HH-65 getting ready to lift off from USCGC Astoria.

A Coastie Blackhawk get caught by the camera taking off.

Another Hercules in Coast Guard colors fills the number 5 spot in tonights Sortie.

And to wrap up tonights sortie a great picture of Grumman Albatross. The plane that was Coast Guard when I was a kid.

That all for tonight folks, have a great week out there and stay safe. I will be back later tonight, Mrs alfa6 is a fixin to put a roast on the dinner table, mmmmm

Glad you liked it. IIRC it was off the road that the current, that is old, vistor center is on. It was on the way out of town behind the maintenance buildings. So if you get back to Gettyburg again you will know where it's at. Assuming of course my memory ain't shot:-)

Mrs alfa6 and I did the 2 hour driving tour last May. We got started about 9:30 in the morning and finsihed up about 6:00pm. I think I shot over 600 pictures that day!!!

Here is a close up of the plaque at the center top of the monument.
