Got a pleasant surprise just now....


An F-104 flew right over the house! You know how long it'* been since I've seen one of those??

For you youngin'*, here is what it looks like....

Starfighter'* are purdy when they're shined up well.

Red 5 standing by.

Also, they are the base airframe for the U2.

This one was gussied up in blue and polished aluminum...it'* for show, for sure.

There is a Warbird airshow in a few weeks, and I've seen a few of them come in to town already...including the Starfighter. There has also been a Mitchell to frequent the airport, as well as the 727 Vomit Comet.

gotta love TYCO. only locals will get that sandrock...LOL

hey does the PSJ exit extension go through to the back side of that subdivision west of 95 yet?

That'* just too cool.

All we get around here is the daily sorties of F-16s, F-22s, a few A-10s & C-130s, a KC 135 or two, a smattering of F-15s, F-14s, F-18s, an occasional B-2 or F-117, C-17s, C-5s, and on rare occasions an SR-71 (been a while since being deactivated). Of course on air-show day we get a broad spectrum of vintage and new aircraft, but that'* not a daily occurance. A 104 would be cool to see!

Lunchboxx - sure does. But they can't connect IT to the 528 bypass, which is only about a mile and half away from the end of that extension :?

D'Oh!
