Here's the catch from this afternoon. Not only did I get an Aero Union P-3 (#17) out there, but..........an F-16 with blue aggressor colors AND an "ED" tailcode - unfortunately the angle was all belly, and I only got the one shot at it, so I couldn't see the topside, but still cool to see & wonder about. Saw a Calspan learjet, and a McChord C-17 as well.

Good catches Brian!  <thumbup>

I've been so sick that I couldn't even look out the door when I heard all the air traffic today.  <moron>

I think the Blue camo bird was in Combat Aircraft this month I think.  Recent transfer.

Thanks for the info on that Viper, guys. Here's a few from today.  Spirit of New York was out for a few passes, as well as the "Raiders" boss Herc from Miramar, a red/white Viper from Edwards, and I got a nice bank from the Channel Islands Herc...........

Hey Brian, have they opened up Ave N on the back side yet?

Great shots!  <cheers>

Yeah, we're back in business, but the shoulders are both in pretty bad shape. I had to park pretty far down (east) from the sweet spot.

You know I've always wanted to know what those red panels are on the B-2?  Are they for Radar purposes?

I don't know for certain, but I'd bet they are camera portals so they can record the weapon releases.
