A few questions about the stop at McChord.

I assume the flight will be filed IFR. What information can be provided to help track the flight with programs such as Flight Aware?

Is the flight going to be Military or Civilian? I assume more on the civilian side.

What is the A/C N-Number or possible Flight Number?

Is there a planned ETA into McChord?

What is the estimated departure time?

I doubt it, but is there any way for one to get around to the aircraft during the McChord stop?

Unfortunately we have a 200 hr. inspection to do on a Beech 1900 this weekend. However if I get the opportunity, and can get away, I would like to make a run up I-5 to McChord and and catch a view of the aircraft on final or departure.

Any information that could be provided on the McChord stop would be greatly appreciated.

Or maybe you guys could just pull a missed approach on Olympia.

We already missed it.

It Occurred during, "The Great WIX Blackout of '08."

Two weeks ago?

Unfortunately I found out a day late when the aircraft was arriving, and was too unsure of the departure time to make the drive with confidence. I should have been at work, but made up some lame excuse as to why I would probably be late that day.

The aircraft arrived Thurs. (the day after I posted my request) around 6:55pm, and departed Sat. morning around 10:45am IIRC.

I posted a video of the C-133 landing at McChord enroute to Travis on ASB. You can find it on the video tab under new videos. Pretty good sound. There is a link to it on the Theater page here on WIX too. It has over 5500 hits in ten days. I'm pretty happy about that. The right place at the right time.
