Got to see the DC-10 airtanker at low level over the house. They were headed to Conroe to do a drop just north of the city.

Race #177 Galloping Ghost departed Minden this morning headed for Reno. It was great watching him fly over and past the house numerous times in the last week.
I wish I was headed to the races but something came up and I am tied up all week.

The Brat III came by the Lancaster Airport, briefly around 11am this morning as the driver had a what looked like a Golden helmet, white mustache and a grin made a slow turn to the West... :wink:

Didn't see these today but Saturday. Beautiful weather in Winston-Salem. At Air Lords request some more.

Hope that you like them.

I don't know if they're still tanking from Travis or if they're even stil in the area. I posted in "Wildfires got my barn.." thread about todays newspaper announcing that a DC-10 and four Herkybirds will be stationed indefinitely at Austin Bersgstrom until the extreme fire conditions pass.

This just buzzed my work. Jumped out of my chair hearing something that wasn't the usual Beavers and Super Otters taking off from nearby Lake Union.

I often see P-3s heading into/out of Love Field in Dallas. I've not been able to discern any squadron markings on them, though that may just be my poor binoculars. Anyone know what our landlocked city would be doing with maritime patrol craft flying in and out?

Sorry, double post.

The P-3s are probably from reserve squadrons going around collecting reservists. The squadrons at NAS JAX used to do that into NAS Atlanta when I was there. They would land, taxi up to the pax terminal , shut down the two port-side engines, drop the airstair, the reservists would run out and climb aboard, the airstair would retract, the two port-side engines would start up and the plane would taxi out and depart. Total elapsed time about 5 minutes. The only bases that now have P-3s are NAS Jacksonville, NAS Whidbey Island and MCAS Kaneohe Bay in Hawaii.

the330thbg,

The white crosses in the red circle should give you a clue - it's Switzerland.

There are P-3s at Corpus, but they ain't Navy. Some of then 3 letter alphabet code guys fly them.
