Out shooting photos of the sunset and caught some aerial refueling action. KC-135 is out of McGhee Tyson in Knoxville, TN.

Also had a passenger jet pass by on its way to land at KTRI.

Here is a photo of a plane flying by BMS that I took back in January.
Just noticed that there are markings on the bottom of the wings.
Pretty hard to see, but maybe someone can recognize the type of plane and the markings?

Considering we don't usually "patrol"... ;)

Lynn is correct though. It's a Civil Air Patrol Cessna. Since it's got a Becker DF (white thing under the fuselage between wing and tail) and wing-mounted landing lights, I'm going to say it's one of our G1000-equipped Cessna C-182T's.

Spotted one of the B-25's heading to Dayton over Rushville, Indiana at 1:15 Eastern time today. Flying from West to East--too far away to identify or photograph. Unmistakeable sound and sillouette.

Yep. Got time in the right seat of that plane. The G1000 kit we have on these planes is really nice because it has a special software package that will automatically setup our search patterns and the autopilot allows the pilot to spend his time looking for traffic while the scanner and observer spend their time looking for whatever we're looking for.
