[TAFFEVANS]

Spent 1045-1500 here and after a very quiet hour with just the CAG E-2C bashing the circuit nearly considered packing it in! Thankfully the afternoon just kept on getting better.
E-2C 165819:NE600 VAW-113 CVW-2 Carl Vinson



E-2C 165650:600 ACCLOGWING (Airborne Command & Control & Logistics Wing)

At around 1330 this beauty appeared on the approach followed by not just one but 2 LC-130's. The ATAC Kfir's then launched followed by the local ANG MAFFS Herc arriving with the newish P-8 hot on it's heels.

Bet you're glad you didn't walk away from that! Fantastic shots of very interesting subjects.
Would've taken much more than an hour for me to get bored of the CAGbird E2C beating the circuit!

[Punkrunner62]

Well worth the patience sir,that CAG E-2C is something else and the NP-3D and LC-130s certainly made it worthwhile plus the Kfirs as a bonus.
Cheers.
