Title: Joint base Lewis-McChord Air Expo 2012, 07/20-22/12

Arrivals day at McChord, and the weather was normal for this summer - in a word, lousy.

Some interesting inbounds during the afternoon (after the thunderstorms had rolled through) but most of the practices were cancelled for the low ceilings.

Things are supposed to improve for tomorrow - we shall see...

Saturday was much better weather-wise, and we got the trio of heavy bombers...

A few more from TCM - the Dust Devils CO bird was very nice, as was the Gunfighters F-16. Shame about the plain vanilla Buff, though... Overall an enjoyable weekend marred slightly by the weather and traffic-control problems on the base on Saturday
