Seen at Denton - a Cessna 152 up at DTO diving pretty steeply for pattern altitude for some reason.

My favorite pic of my favorite airplane. Meant to include it in post #81 but couldn't locate it then.

Continuing the space theme, from the end of one era of US manned launches to the beginning of the next - Crew Demo-2.

What was the process for getting permission to photograph in this kind of an active environment? You have captured amazing shots!
Well I did ATC at MCAS Miramar SD and the controllers that work on the carrier also worked at NAS North Island. They called over and asked if we wanted to check out ATC ops on ship (CATCC) during work ups for deployment. Flew out on the C-2 and spent a couple of days. Wish I would’ve gone on the last trip the next week because they were winding down OP’s and they did supersonic passes on the ship.
 
..don't judge. This is as close as some of us get.

Today marks the second anniversary of the first (of many) rollouts and launch attempts of SLS/Artemis 1, culminating in its successful launch on Nov 16, 2022.

I see what you did there. “Misty” was an S-3 callsign wasn’t it? I believe west coast.
Misty was the callsign for VX-5 (now VX-9) out of China Lake.

Desert Storm - Our two fighter escorts and one TARPS Tomcat and we (EA-6B) were the SEAD (Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses) escort. We did a lot of escort of the photo recon Tomcats along the beaches of Kuwait lending credibility to the misguidance of there going to be an amphibious landing. It got kinda routine until the Iraq's moved an SA-2 in overnight. The target tracking radar popped with no prior EW and we got a HARM off the rail about the time we sighted the first SAM headed for us. The SA-2 being a pretty known quantity got jammed and it detonated a good couple miles away - still an impressive kaboom.

Black Aces and Jolly Rogers. Doesn’t get any better than that.
 
I was flying through Whidbey Naval Air Station Class C airspace and talking to their ATC when this bad boy flew under me. I knew it was coming, but its passage was so quick it still startled me.
