TomcatFanatic123 Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) Actually forgot about posting this from a couple weeks ago. An RC-135 was out here at Vandenberg for four straight days. Must have been doing some sort of testing on the range out there, because it was joined by the "billboard" P-3 out of Mugu, a C-17, and a fighter aircraft of some sort that my mom saw but couldn't ID (most likely a Hornet). His first pass actually set off a car alarm on the next street over from me...LOL. This shot was taken from my backyard in Vandenberg Village.

Jennings Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 No photo, but I almost drove off the side of I-81 jus now, coming from Johnson City, TN home to Abingdon, VA. Passing by Bristol (and a long way from Tri-Cities Regional), I saw a P-8A at about 2000' AGL cruising south paralleling the interstate! No clue what he was doing in SW Virginia/NE Tennessee. Haven't seen a submarine here in ages. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
