One of the T-28's from the Midway Airport doing some aerobatics over the crib last night and pulling contrails on the barrel rolls...

A Birddog and a SNJ flying around over my house. Not together.

Mrs. 'DH and I were in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, this weekend. On Friday and again on Saturday, I saw a single C-130 making its landing approach to the FAM air base on Isla Cozumel. Been there many, many, many times and have never seen anything except Pilatus PC-7s there.

There was a Coast Guard HC-144A beating up the Hudson off Manhattan today.

I caught these at St. Thomas, USVI, on December 23.

This one landed in the harbor at San Juan, PR, the morning of December 29; I didn't have a clean shot to get him actually touching down (would have been through a dirty window).

One of Rick Sharpe's A-26s departing HOU. Probably with Al Maxwell flying.

At roughly 0730, heading to G'ston? Man, something passed low over the house and I was unable to knock over furniture and sh*t on my way out the door to see what at the time...

Nope, this was about 10:00 am and they were headed west over Pearland and climbing.

About 5:30 or so, a B-25 On short final to KSAT. Couldn't tell who it was. Anybody know who's it was?

I think I had three Mustangs and Corsair strafe the house earlier today. Not positive about the first two, but no. 3 was definitely a very beautiful Mustang, and no. 4 an equally awesome Corsair. They couldn't have been 1000' AGL, passed directly over my place. Such wonderful and thrilling sights and sounds - little thing like that can make your whole day! 8)

Sounds like the "Texas Flying Legends" guys. I know they were up flying the B-25 yesterday morning for a photo shoot with Scott Slocum.

At 12:27 PM, Feb 4, 2014, a flight of 2 UH-60's - probably US Army - flew northwest bound west of Vermilion Ohio - maybe heading to Camp Perry. Altitude was about 1000 AGL....Love the rotor blade beat... 8)

I haven't a hint to a clue since I've only seen them at night, but I can testify that something flying into NAS Whidbey Island uses LED landing lights and they DO get your attention from a very long way off :shock:

I'd bet almost anything that they're P-8A's.
