It was a busy day around the old air patch today. President Obama came to Charlotte this afternoon.

And thanks to some strong storms in Atlanta again, we had a Virgin Atlantic A346 drop in. In a strange set of events, just before they were ready to leave, we had a big thunderstorm roll through, and our daily Lufthansa A330 ended up diverting to Greenville, SC.

Three weeks ago, I saw my first Airbus A400M. Actually, this is the second one (54+02) of a total of three delivered to the GAF. The first one (54+01) came for the actual event the next day, but the weather was crap.

The pictures were taken during the preparations for the Open House of the german armed forces (Bundeswehr) at Neuburg/Danube in Bavaria on June 10th, 2016.

And two weeks later, this italian Alenia C-27J Spartan of the Aeronatica Militare came to our airfield to pick up paratroopers.

That A400M is an interesting looking bird. I caught an RAF one at LAS last year.

Some neat stuff at CLT today...

I am guessing it's a P-8. It over flew my home in Clearwater Fl several times so

I am guessing it was doing touch and go's or a racetrack pattern. It was about

1900 hours or so, I live a few miles from the Clearwater-St Pete USCG air station,

usually I am buzzed by HC-130H's.I enlarged the picture and could almost make out

the Bu number under the stab, looked like 158440.---John
