Any plans for APSOCAL to get one organized? That AZ group really inspired me that such a thing can happen. :)
Was thinking the same thing.  If AZ can do it, we can right?

You know i will see where this goes but, I have no problems heading this up on APsocal's behalf.  Josh or Damon you have any thoughts?

I say Pt. Mugu because I live down the street, ;D but we'd all be bored to death, there is hardly any flight  activity.

I'd love Pt Mugu... We could make sure it was on a day when there was air ops. :D

This thread should probably busted out.

March ARB would be okay... but only if we were content with watching a KC-135 in the pattern for 30 minutes. ;)


Air Force is so anal I know they'd never let us stand next to the runway, that's for sure.  :-\

well, FC does have it's name and amount of members. i'd guess the contact they have is good too.
couple years ago, i called their (EC) PAO, i missed the FC photocall, but it wouln'd be a problem to sit next to the runway with guide, to take the same shots as they did. only thing was, no movements that day....

i'd say, try it with, say 8 to 10 ppl. it worked for the FC 2007 yuma photocall. just call, let them speak (i.e "well, we don't do single ppl tours, but we are prepared to guide more then 8 ppl") and then, try to mold it into a photocall of APSOCAL...

Why don`t i hear anything about Lemoore ever......its not a bad drive. But i know nothing about it.....do they have helicopters ? I know the SAR unit is gone.

I think i have the PAO number at El Centro for whoever wants to try......

Lemoore would be excellent... VFA-122 Supers and VFA-125 Legacy... Not to mention several squadrons based there. It's the West Coast counterpart of NAS Oceana.

I'd love Lemoore, and FC did that one in the past. I would totally drive up there for that, and I'm willing to take people along in my vehicle if anything like that ever happened.

I have the NAFEC PAO's card as well.
