Model Forum / General / Models / February 2008Looking for J57 images
I am looking for images of a J57 engine installed on a KC-135A, uncowled and hopefully both sides shown.

None of them are close- ups. http://www.airliners.net/photo/USA---Air/Boeing-KC-135A-Stratotanker/1098196/L/ http://www.airliners.net/photo/USA---Air/Boeing-KC-135A-Stratotanker/1020842/L/ http://www.airliners.net/photo/USA---Air/Boeing-KC-135A-Stratotanker/0840235/L/ Chris Thanks Chris, they are good enough to start. They jog my memory, I was a phase inspector at Pease AFB, in the late 70's and want to build a diorama of a tanker going through inspection Dave >> On Feb 8, 11:01 pm, "Dave.H." <dhendr...@netscape.net> wrote: >> I am looking for images of a J57 engine installed on a KC-135A, uncowled [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Chris > Thanks Chris, they are good enough to start.

Pat Pat, what I my goal is, is to take a few of the after market J57s available and plumb and accessorize them. I am planning to show a 509th KC undergoing phase inspection at Pease AFB. Cowling comes off and a lot of panels . The tough part will be getting the needed maintenance stands made and making the engines suitably cluttered. > If you're looking for photos of the engine proper, do a Google "Image" > search for "J57" - there's a lot of photos of the engine itself out on > the web. > > Pat > Dave.H. wrote: > Pat, what I my goal is, is to take a few of the after market J57s > available and plumb and accessorize them.

Hey Dave, you might want to pick up a copy of " KC-135 Stratotanker in Detail & Scale " by Alwyn T. Lloyd . I see a few of them available on Amazon.com. It's sure to have plenty of photo's to help you out. Of course they are price gouging a bit at $ 40. Not a bad price though. As a side note. I used to live in Pittsburgh, Pa in the late 1980's and early 90's. A good friend of mine was a crew chief on Stratobladders in the Air National Guard unit stationed at Pittsburgh International airport. They were equipped with the ' E ' model. He told me when he was in school out at Castle AFB he couldn't believe how LOUD the ' A ' models were with the original J-57 engines using water injection. Also he talked about how the ANG birds were really well taken care of. Were as regular Air Force 135's were a bit trashed out. By the way that buddy of mine served in the first Gulf war when his ANG unit was sent over there. And he later became a boom operator. Chris |
