Re: USA West Coast Visit - Summer 2024.

When at Palm Springs take a look at the blue spitfire, terrible scheme 😆, then look closer and you can see red showing through. The red is from when it was UK based as G-FIRE.

Don't miss the F117, it's in a new building/tent and easy to miss the door In

Re: West Coast Retirement Trip.

Did you have to que at Luke to get in on Saturday back and forth in the barriers outside? Took a while 😉 (but not as bad as Point Magu last year). Sunday, got there same time, completely different, no outside que and more or less walked straight up to security. The blue F15 was a surprise. Great pic...

Re: Midlands air festival 2023

We heard the pilot call fuel over the radio on 3rd pass, commentary later said it was an ATC issue or words to that effect. Either way it was still great to see it

Re: Davis-Monthan 15-May-1994

Spoke to velor helicopters in Tuscon this week, they've taken down overflights of the boneyard as they were not always getting permission to over fly. They can do Pinal and then ask for approval to overtly DM but it will be an extra $300 plus $75 if want door off
