The day started with rain falling on the masses waiting to get in. Luckily proceedings were efficient, and the rain stopped shortly after the gates were opened. This day was static only, today Sunday will be the show over the seafront. Friday was spotters'day so who were present then may have additi...

Just luck.
Om May 2 we had in a short time several movements.
At one time there were 3 KC10s, 2 E6s and a C5 in the circuit.
During take-off after touch&go, or during overshoot after missed approach E6s can be read off.

Mostly a local affair with lots of general aviation. Visiting aircraft from bases not too far away. Notable exception was C-12 from Alaska. Crew told that it took them 7 hours to get there. Here is the military stuff. I included the drones, still not decided if I'm really interested in them. Static ...

Thanks Luyt/Lord for giving us directions to the right location. A farmer came by for a friendly chat. The only person we saw both days. Place must be scorchingly hot in summer, with sun position in mind I'd not go before 3PM. Unfortunately P3s and E2s did not fly when we were there. Some photos can...

An oral report by my namesake at Beale of the photoday the week before made us hopeful for NAS Fallon. And we were not dissappointed. These are the results of two very pleasant afternoons in the SW-approach, on April 30 and May 1. All serials given were taken off photos. Locals: NAWDC F/A-18C: 16403...

Maybe reported elsewhere: but RF 18-1 has learned that friday is no-fly day for RF. So no daylight, no night missions on fridays.
Seems to be a decision by the new commander.

We decided to choose Texas as destination for our yearly spotting tour. We were hoping for loads of trainer aircraft. This is what we got: Conroe IAP 11-11-2017 UH60 0-24603, 0-24448, 0-27017, last three 476 T6: 166103-G, 166090-C, 166112-G B17G N7227C HU16C N1954Z, N1955G C182 N455CP CAP L29 N82601...

Transferring between Sentry Eagle and the Fairchild Skyfest I saw:
At Redmond, OR IAP on July 22 Convair C-GYXC of Conair
At Pembleton, OR on July 25 Huey N703NP (active) and N11109 (wreck), Bell 47 N2985W and CH47F 06-08030
At Pesco, WA on July 25 EP-3E 160764 doing circuits.

This morning during my morning run I saw KC135 0056 coded HH

Thanks for additions, corrections.
