That ghost is clearly an SEP.

You can only see it if you don't look directly at it.

I took them for granted because they always used to be everywhere. Realized today that I haven't heard that sound in years!

When you hear this sound, you absolutely stop what you are doing and rush outside.

A pair of UH-1 Huey's make a surprise appearance. Not sure who they are, as they aren't pinging and I couldn't make out any markings.

FG-1D Corsair taking off.
Shot through the unavoidable heat rising from a Florida runway, she's still a beautiful sight to me.

I’m on the edge of my seat waiting for foreign operators of Ukraine’s interceptor drone P1SUN to discover what its seemingly purely technical name actually stands for.

I like where your head is at!
Hang on to those legs though. Need those to reach the rudder pedals.

She's gorgeous and for sale!
Thinking about starting a GoFundMe.

If we all skip Avocado Toast for a bit, we could do this thing.

That is an incredible splinter scheme! Your work never disappoints. I have to be careful when I visit The Hangar and make sure I have plenty of time because I can't stop looking around. Top notch, Fly Past. Top notch!

I've been very up close and personal with the 117 and it does feel very small. It is taller than you would think, but being beside it you would never call it big. Such an odd aircraft in so many ways.

I hope "current events" didn't leave a bad taste with that movie quote.

But if you read the post in Maverick's voice you are my kinda people πŸ˜ƒ

Huh? Not at all. It's a good idea! I immediately looked up the Kidd memorial park for next year πŸ˜ƒ. Apparently it's been in dry dock but is now waiting for the river level to come up to be moved back.
As for the Mighty A, I think I've firmly decided to see it again THIS year πŸ˜†

Your art of it is πŸ’ͺ

Mardi Gras was just a thought. LA definitely does it well but I heard Mobile has a different flavor to it that I'm curious about. The trip would be mainly to see the big 'ol boat. Now if they would just have an airshow nearby... sold!
