Good day folks, I am back with another not well documented Arctic plane crash. This one was in between Arviat, NU and Rankin Inlet, NU. It is not the plane that went off the runway in Rankin as this one was probably 50 or so miles away (possibly more, will update if I can find coordinates). Thanks in advance internet sleuths!
Same altitude and speed. Returned a short while after. FR24 said “Piper Cherokee Six 260” but I dont see anything with multi props in my search. nyone know what type of plane and why so close to the helocopter?
These were taken by my grandfather during the Vietnam War. He was based at Firebase Timbuktu for his service, which was a bit east of Ho Chi Minh (near Bac Nui). I believe that photos 2 and 8 are the same helicopter.
BTW, Photo 5 is the only photo where I don't know the type. I'm wondering if anybody can get registrations or information that might lead to registrations
Edit: I know what kind of helicopters they are! (Thanks for informing me about the OH-6 tho)
Also, the UH-1 in photo 6 appears to be marked as '293', meaning it's either 151293 or 61-0713 (MSN 293)
Edit 2: Photo 7 (Chinook) is 64-13143, which was later shot down by a missile
Sorry for the zoomed out video, heard them over me for about an hour till they finally came low enough for some shots before they left the area
They constantly circle our area, I figure theyre doing touch and go exercises, I've been telling anyone who will listen that theyre Eagles, but I want to be sure! These pics are from this morning's low passes, but my phone is full of them!
Any ideas? I saw it on Apple maps today. (8/15). ChatGPT thought it was an F-22, which don’t go on carrier decks ever and looks completely different.
I saw it last night sitting on a bench with a random stranger who saw the exact same thing.
There was a huge looking star and then realized it was moving "slowly" like a plane or satellite and then like headlights in front of a car, lights went on creating like an arc of light, just like headlights.
Then like a big Shockwave of "mist" exploded arround it in a perfect circle, It dispersed as the ring grew larger and larger, anyone knows what it is? Planes spraying stuff or what?
I am curious about it.
I saw this at KPAE at August 1st, at around 22:12 UTC
i would also like the registration if you have it
NOTE: the title says KBFI but it’s KPAE
12/08/26, 20:31, I was standing here, facing 285° WNW. Looked on flight tracking sites but this is all new to me and I couldn't figure it out. Not particularly looking to do anything with this info, just for my own curiosity as this was a nice surprise when I was reviewing the pics.
Originally found on bag from the store Trader Joe’s, was curious as to what plane it was but other websites don’t list its name. Pre-20s? Biplane.
I’m trying to make a poster with the helicopter name and model on it and looking for any info to include. I think this was taken in the 90s or 80s, potentially in Alaska.
Taken in the Atlanta area at approximately 10:15 going west [I thought it might be an F-35 but the photo is admittedly rough edit:( turns out it’s an f-22 thanks to everyone that commented and )
Can anyone identify these aircrafts? Might the larger one be an incomplete plane?

Hi everyone, I found this low-resolution image of a Philippine Air Force (PAF) North American Rockwell OV-10 Bronco. It features a dark/gunmetal scheme with shark mouth nose art on the airfield apron. Because the image is low-res/blurry from Facebook, I can't read the tail/serial number. Does anyone recognize this specific airframe number or have a higher-resolution source photo of this exact plane?
