	164406 (cn 24505) (Best viewed at 1152) Love this aircraft. The Mercury sits on the static ramp awaiting the crowds ready to come in and bawk around her.

	164406 (cn 24505) (Best viewed at 1152) The Mercury taxis in to park. I wish she would have rolled to the end like the rest of the aircraft were doing but the tower called for them to clear the runway as soon as possible due to a inbound KC-135.

	164406 (cn 24505) (Best viewed at 1152) A little distant shot. We did not get a fly-by since they have about one minute to land before the airspace was closed for the Harrier. Cool aircraft. The one aircraft I wish I was at the 55th st pier for.

	USA - Navy Boeing E-6A / E-6B (707-320) Mercury	Cleveland - Hopkins International (CLE/KCLE) USA - Ohio, October 17, 2007	E. Jones Contact
	Registration/Serial No. | Remarks & Notes
	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.
