Didn't get a chance to post it yesterday, but I saw 2 CH-46 Sea Knights hugging the coast along Santa Barbara on my way to LAX to take my uncle and aunt to the airport. Couldn't have been any higher than 400-500 ft. off the deck. Talk about totally unexpected.

OK, so this was last week, I'm a little slow with all this heat. :doh:

VX-1 P-3 Orion out of Pax River dropped in to shoot a few landings at Republic Airport (KFRG).

They stopped by shortly after the Kalitta horse hauler departed:

Watched a Indiana State Police Jetranger buzz the house several times checking out damage caused by Monday nights/Tuesdays morning storms,given the damage we received in our part of the county I believe it was a tornado and not straight line winds,most trees looked like they exploded rather than just getting knocked over.We are still without power and it won't be restored for at least a day or so due to the damage.

Two Wyoming ANG C-130s in fairly close trail formation doing a low level over Fort Collins and Loveland, CO. I headed over to the Fort Collins-Loveland Airport (FNL) just in time to see them do a high speed (:worship:) fly-by down the main runway before they headed back towards Cheyenne.

A C-130 (ooohhh...exciting <_<) visited today. I was inside the house and heard it. Didn't even have to go outside and look up...I already knew what it was. Went to town a couple hours later and saw it on final into Vandenberg.

Here's a GIF made up of the shots I took today of (what I'm assuming is) the newest C-5 to get the C-5M upgrades (tail#60013). It was making circuits in the pattern this morning at Dobbins.

I was cleaning out the car yesterday to make room for all the kits I plan to lug home from the Nats, when a couple of the local Steely-Eyed Defenders Of Freedom flew by..AKA a pair of A-10s from the 101th. The did their neat airshow break for landing, then came right over the house on downwind. Man, those Hogs are Uber-Cool. Too bad we're losing them next year (they're being replaced with <yawn> C-21s.)

All I had handy was my little point-n-shoot, but I snapped a couple of pics anyway.

Heard what sounded like a CF-18 take off from Waterloo-Wellington, saw a Hornet shaped speck in the sky as the noise lowered going in the wrong direction. Dang I like living near the airport, normally the landing (which is pretty quiet) goes right in front of my house.

I saw a CH-47 from the MT Army National Guard today. I have seen several fire bombers over the last few days. I have seen P-3's, P-2's and several helicopters. Busy fire season.

Today (8-4-08) I saw two CH-47's and a C-130. I later heard that Vice President Cheney was in town. Guess he is going on a fishing trip in the area.
