As you can see, i am back on a yearly basis. I got family in San Diego. Coronado and dog beach are my favorite spots to spend time...
this time it was diffrent. not too many aircraft, no sun as i was used to in san diego. but there was the FC Yuma photocall and i got a ride in the chasecar at Beale. glad i saw an S-3 at nasni...

2008 was the best year yet. several visits to coronado, and shot some visiting stuff. the RBAR was cool, with some additional visiting birds. the last day of my vacation was jackpot. 37 T-45 shot, 2 skytrains and 3 prowlers. some local helo's and a couple visiting ones from far away and a couple of weekend stops. awesome!
