Getting closeup captures of this E-6B Mercury was a fantastic finale to a wonderful day of photographing US military aircraft at RNO. I arrived at 10 AM and did not leave until 6:30 PM after I caught this one landing, taxiing, and being buttoned up (shown above). In the eight and a half hours I was out on the ramp, I snapped one USN Seahawk, four USMC F-18 Hornets, one USAF and two USN Tigers, one USMC C-130, this Navy E-6, and one USAF F-16 .... which just happened to be Thunderbird #8. All in all, an absolutely OUTSTANDING day!!

Congrats to You, Gary, on another very productive day of a/c spotting photo captures! This one is likely a rare visitor to RNO... and your commentary "back story" is exemplary!

Wow, love this. I hope these great airplanes continue to fly forever like the DC3s and C47s continue to do in civilian service. (Even with CFM engines probably unaffordable to fly in the civilian market. ) Can't tell, does the E-6 CFM engines have thrust reversers? The re-engined KC-135s don't.
