I'm dating myself here, but it reminds me of the old Hughes Airwest livery.

Yeppers, it was A6-GGP. Always nice to see the Queen of the Skies at KSAN. After landing they immediately unloaded some air freight containers out the side cargo door, had to be horses. Getting a good, unobstructed view of the north side cargo area is a bit tricky, so I didn't catch where the scisso...

Looks like the Sunday flight will be FDX9750, using a 767-300. Too bad, I was hoping for a FedEx 777, we don't normally get those here. Maybe the Monday flight from Indianapolis will use one. HHmmm, what's this, a flight listed as "Dubai Airwing 8" enroute from London/Stansted, arriving 1:10p local ...

When the Barbers Point Air Museum closed, the fate of its collection was uncertain. Thanks to some help from Hawaiian Airlines and shipping company Pasha Hawaii stepped in and agreed to help send some warbirds to the museum at Castle AFB in California. Mechanics from Hawaiian Airlines will dismantle...

https://www.thoroughbreddailynews.com/breeders-cup-arranges-fedex-charters/ The Breeder's Cup is in San Diego this year, which means lots of horses flown out to KSAN and sometimes, LAX. With the worldwide demand for cargo aircraft, the horse racing association had to pull some string but finally arr...

I was able to see one of the Nevada Air Guard C-130s do an airdrop at the Reno Air Races a couple years ago, and the same thing happened-- the cargo came out right-side up, but flips upside down before the main cute opens. Still crazy to see it when it happens.

Very preliminary explanation posted at navalsafetycenter: " MH-60S touched down onboard CVN-72. Experienced side-to-side vibrations causing main rotor to strike flight deck. A/C fell over side." One crewman was pulled from the water, other 5 crew lost with the helicopter. 5 additional deck crew inju...

Cool shots, great set. Your angle on 169029 is a rare instance where I think the F-35 actually looks good..! Thanks, Erik Glad to see you like them. My preferred F-35 views are with as much burner flame and/or vapor as possible. VFA-125 actually did a bang up job with their F-35 demo at Lemoore a f...

Rest of last week-- all the side numbers/BUNOs of the Goshawks I haven't listed before, plus whatever else was in the pattern. 28 different Goshawks that I have numbers for, plus 2 CAG birds that I saw from long range but never got pix of (VT-21 Redhawks CAG + 200/Texas flag bird). I am by no means ...

I would love to see this beautiful bird in a steep bank to see the top of the wings and get a better look at the horizontal stabs, but she has been very sh...
