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!

Agreed!  Freedom of expression, and boy, how rightfully so we exploit this almost on a daily basis.  It is what it is.

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

Not exactly sure, but Kevin knows I'm sure.  Some of this photos may have the reg clearly visible.  I'll hunt through them right now to see if I can get anything.

I'm heading out there within the next hour or so...gotta finish the morning routine and get the oil changed.  Also, I stand corrected, the second flight is indeed on Friday.  My apologies, Glen.  I know I had told you it was Saturday. ???

Will do.  I'm sure Robert or I will give you a ring before it gets ready to go.

No flight today. It has a N# now, but I could not read it.

Any idea when it's going now?  Possibly tomorrow or Friday?

Just got confirmation from Robert and Keith that it is scheduled to depart today.  It usually goes in the mornings so I'm tidying up and heading over.

Good luck today.  Thought it was just a engine test flight???

While waiting for the C-17 this P180 did an engine run-up at the fence and completely sand blasted this Excursion for about 30 seconds. You can see the guy ducking inside.
