Nice pics Charger. I really like the one with the moon!

Charger

Thank you Stoernblom, But as you know, any kind of lunar shot is nothing short of pure luck, I did know the moon was there,  but it's so much about timing and trying to keep a since of humor when you try and fail, thanks again.

They were there for the flyby of the MLB AllStar game.  They flew in the day before.

I'm not sure which day they came in on.  Monday they did a fly over at the Home Run Derby.  I assumed there would be a fly over at the game itself, but I figured it would be F-18s from Miramar or Lemoore.  So anyway, Monday after their flyover at the Home Run Derby, I hear some jets approaching.  It gets louder and louder, and I can tell these jets are NOT making the usual approach over the beach.  They actually flew OVER my condo (1/2 mile from the end of the runway).  We have a giant olive tree in front, so I really couldn't make out what type of jets they were, I just figured that somebody was going to get a royal @$$ chewing since jets are never allowed to fly over town.  The base gets lots of noise calls even when the pilots are obeying the rules.  Then, Tuesday morning, I found out the jets that flew over the house were the T-Birds.  Needless to say, I was out at the beach with my camera the that night.  I was afraid they would do the fly by and go straight home to Nellis, but they came back to North Island.  The stadium is about 2 miles away, but you could easily see the TBirds as soon as they opened up with the smoke.  I had my scanner on, and the ATC was telling them in a very stern voice that they were not allowed to overfly Pt Loma or the city of Coronado.  The TBird boss comes back and asks 'where is Pt Loma?'  It was pretty funny.

The Monday fly over was by 4 Super Hornets, not the T'Birds, and they didn't appear to make any hard turns like the T'birds did the following day.
