A trio of USMC CH-46 Sea Knights passed over Bristol Motor Speedway this afternoon. Ran out to the airport and grabbed some photos and a video of their departure.

Caught a white, four engine jet flying high over my house this evening. Not sure what it was. Maybe someone can identify it.

Clean, shiny and very official-looking CH-46's. Official transports of some sort?

Canso, Night Hawks are the CH-46s used by the Presidential detail.

Antonov 124. Agreed. Look at the tail and the squatty fuselage.

Haven't had a chance to report it but a white/gray Skyraider did a low pass over Crystal Lake near Lodi WI a week ago Saturday. Just saw it as it did a chandelle 180 to the right and headed back across the lake. I saw Eric's Spad at a small airshow in Prairie du Sac 2 years ago but it was blue:

Did he get a new paint job?

I saw a B-29 and a B-24 [This space, for the purists to insert the correct nomenclature: _________________ ] :D :D

Ah! And, a Jet Provost too. The three airplanes were seen at the Houston Executive Airport, near Katy, TX.

Yesterday I saw Flagship Detroit fly over Meacham. This morning I've seen a C-47 (Southern Cross I believe) and The B-25 Pacific Prowler take off out of Meacham, I assume heading for Alliance for the airshow this weekend. I'm hoping I'll see a large silver and yellow 4 engined bird headed that way sometime today too...I haven't seen the B-17 'Chuckie' up close with her new accessories! Here's to hoping! :drink3:

Went to Burnet, TX today with a student for several reasons - including the 50th anniversary of the airport and a mini fly-in. Saw of course the Highland Lakes Squadron's birds and a few others like the T-6 types below.

Had some fun with a few "Cub" types, too.

A C-130 Hercules flew past my house Sunday evening. Ran out to Tri-Cities Airport (KTRI) to grab some photos. After refueling and just prior to startup, the right external tank developed a leak which required the emergency vehicles to come out and clean the spilled fuel off the tarmac. After about 30 minutes of cleanup, the Herc was able to depart.

And video of the take off:
