| Unknown (cn Unknown) This US Navy E-6B Mercury was doing touch-and-goes on RWY 24R at CLE for a while (10/17/2007). The aircraft is a communications, command, and control platform for the Navy. The modified Boeing 707’s mission is called TACAMO II ("Take Charge and Move Out"). See the US Navy fact file for much more information on this sophisticated aircraft. Some of the many communications systems can be seen such as the “hump” on the top of the fuselage and wing-tip HF antennae. These aren’t my best quality shots but the aircraft was a rare sight and worth sharing. |
