I want to visit this location for a long time!!!
Wasn't planning on the rain coming back (as evidenced by the other 3 photos taken from yesterday) but... a photographer's gotta do what a photographer's gotta do to get the shots... thanks for your support!

Howdy, Tom ... (Wave) ... Initially, I had planned to post this old "Flashback" pic of mine two days ago. However, when I saw that "N828AW" was scheduled to make a PHX-RNO run yesterday evening and then fly out this morning to DFW (at this moment it is enroute) I decided to post it now. (Grin) Yeah, I know; there's no real "significance" except to me but that's the way I work. (lol)

Hey, since you mentioned plane models, perhaps you can steer me in the right direction. I've been trying to find a model, preferably "centerpiece" size, of a Mohawk Convair, either a Cosmopolitan 240 or a Metropolitan 440, in MOH's black-and-gold-on-white Air Chief livery. I found one once but it was not a Convair; it was a FH-227 like the one in the pic I posted yesterday. If you might know where I should look, I'd appreciate getting a nudge toward that site.
Best Wishes. And Be Safe. Gary "RNOOldeCarl" ( OldeCarl@gmail.com )
This livery has received quite a lot of exposure over the years. There was even a model of it offered, now on ebay:

With history going as far back as to include the Piedmont Speedbird!
Interesting composition.

The LTV A-7 Corsair II is an American carrier-capable subsonic light attack aircraft designed and manufactured by Ling-Temco-Vought (LTV).
Written on 2021/04/13 by a mentor
The A-7 was developed during the early 1960s as replacement for the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk. Its design is derived from the Vought F-8 Crusader; in comparison with the F-8, the A-7 is both smaller and restricted to subsonic speeds, its airframe being simpler and cheaper to produce.
The look-alike A-8 used an innovative aspect of the design was the variable-incidence wing
That's the Grumman A-7 Corsair II. A variant is from LTV

This wasn't a "poor" livery scheme, but the other one that came later was definitely more vibrant.

Gary, I love this shot. The Mohawk FH-227 about to board her pax looks to be maybe 3 feet longer than the F27's that I flew in the early 1980's. Also, we did not have the advantage of an airstair door for the aft cabin entry. Our empty weight was 28,000 pounds, but with that aft airstair the Mohawk 227's would have been a bit heavier. The EAL L188 parked at Gate 9 is in Eastern's all time classic livery.

As is obvious by the above info, this one has changed hands a few times in the 12 years after I took this pic.

Koson ... Photo quality is fine, but you should never have posted this one. I'm certain you only meant to post a photo showing an unusual activity but at some point you will discover that posting this was a mistake. I'm sure you don't know why (if you DID know why, you would never have posted it). This one single photo reveals more than one fact about you - none of which will benefit you as an aviation photographer around here. To be frank, you shot yourself in the foot and crippled yourself badly when you posted this. So here is an unsolicited suggestion to you from a guy who has lived here and done aviation photography around here for over a quarter century: even tho the quality of this shot is great, have this one DELETED from your folder and never post another one like it again. (YW and a Thumbs Up)

Superb capture! You used the inclement conditions to your advantage and caught an outstanding reflection. So many photogs use that PS feature that creates the (obviously) fake water puddle reflection, but there is nothing phoney about THIS pic. Kudos for being out there to get this outstanding snap. Filling in Five; would fill more if there were more. ***** ++ !

At present, Delta is the only passenger carrier that uses B757 equipment at RNO.

Definitely a poor Q pic, which is partly due to the fact that I enlarged it before posting it. I had used PS to restore the original color to it; I had briefly considered converting it to B & W but I decided to try and resurrect the color because I have always liked Mohawk's black and gold livery and also Eastern's colors from that era. The print does look less "choppy" in its original smaller size but that Eastern Electra in the background at Gate 9 is a little easier to see in this enlarged version.

@jim wasson; I too recall the Grumman Goose takeoff/landing in Avalon Bay at Catalina IS, USA (20mi off Long Beach, CA). It was a real hoot to see one circle the bay and flop into the water -- good times.
