When Marine Corps EL Toro Air Station was closed in 1999, the Flying Leatherneck Museum moved to Miramar. The museum was closed in 2021, with no clear idea of what would happen to the several dozen aircraft and other artifacts. Last December the museum reached a tentative agreement with the City of ...
Nimitz came in to North Island just a few hours after Vinson on Monday, and left yesterday (Tues). I can only hope that all those Goshawks are headed out here when they are finished in El Centro. Oh, and some actual El Centro news-- they haven't announced the date, but the T-Birds social media HAS c...

Yah, overall, there was a lot of action going on, I was having fun. Somebody got a photo of the 117 on Tuesday (which is how I found out), I saw it Wed and Thursday. I didn't see it Friday, but due to a lunch date I was only there a couple hours in the morning, and it might have been flying. 811? Pr...
10 Feb Thursday Just like Wednesday, the F-117 was flying with 2 F-35Bs. They were flying in a 3 ship formation and landed together (approx 900am). I had only just arrived and had not checked the weather prior to leaving the house. I was set up for a recovery on Runway 24, and the jets landed on Run...

Different Imperial. This one is located just above the city of El Centro. 1099 Airport Rd, Imperial, CA 92251, Verenigde Staten Great place to see some of the choppers refuel if you are lucky. That's the one. It does seem to get a lot of military traffic, mostly USN and USMC rotary machines for rot...
1/2/22 MV-22B VMM-163 YP 06/168011, 10/167914 Very interesting. 4-5 years ago, before any Ospreys came to North Island, the Navy held a public Q & A session to talk about the impact of the (then) forthcoming Osprey operations. I asked if Ospreys would be training at OLF Ream, and the answer then wa...
I'll be there, have a hotel starting on the 6th. For people planning multi-stop travels, note that as of today, Yuma and Luke are cancelled (official pages) but El Centro (March 12) is on. Also: the Speedway is hosting the NASCAR circus the weekend of March 5-6, so lodging close to the track may be ...
What time was the first launch in the morning? Looking to be there next week so just looking for a heads up on what's best and where's best for good pictures in the morning.
