I think Maple and Felbar might be the better spot. I'll probably get there around 12:30 - 1pm. I'll try and drop by John. I'll be in black pants, black boots, black hat, dark gray shirt, black canon 5D and silver rebel with the white 100-400, Hard to miss. I'll see about pining an APSC patch on my right sleeve too.

I'll be in my front yard with family, anyone is welcome to stop by and say hi, grab a drink, or just hang out. Not the best place for the flybys, but good for everything else.

On Torrance Bl., South side, 3 doors East of Hickory. The house with the brown wood fence and brick light post.

Hung around at the mall today. Not much stuff. No tanks. They flew a UH-60C in, the pilot said they will depart Monday morning between 6 and 10am. Tried to find out about the fly-bys, no one had the info. Pics coming in a few.

I stopped too.  Same as last year.  IED vehicles weird but cool.

I have a source that should call me before the parade starts to find out what might be flying over

Looks like it will be about 91 Deg. today

What happens when you fly a Blackhawk helo too low over Torrance Bl.?

Anyway, it was an excellent parade with the best Blackhawk demo I've seen, even at an airshow. The four Hornets was a nice touch too.

Thanks Josh and Robert for stopping by, it was fun meeting you guys in person.

I'll post more when I get a chance to go through the shots.
