Just a reminder to everyone, courtesy of Keith, tomorrow the second Qatar C-17 is supposed to be taking flight.  Not exactly sure of what time, but I will be there around 10am.  Could be as late as 4pm or so but just wanted to let you all know.  Thanks for the heads up Keith.  Kevin, see you there in morn.

Just sorting through my set...the pilot is definitely giving us a bad case of stink eye.  All the unwanted attention must be getting on his nerves.

Don't you just love how those military guys - who've taken an oath to defend the constitution - forget that that means the freedom to take photographs? An oath is an oath, guys, live it or get out!

Anyone know if the C-17 has a reg no that's trackable on flightaware?
