Post aircraft pictures you took

[Pugs]

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.

Space X Starship on the launchpad at Boca Chica Texas.
I believe this is SN11 in March 2021.

I'm jealous - that's another one on my space bucket list.

My take:
Front seat: Hmm, how are we going to explain this to the CO?
Back seat: Your problem, buddy!

Might have been @35 AoA. Think he’s out of Whidbey now.

I am, though not at -140. My last active duty deployment had the Patriots as our airwing VAQ squadron though

Here is last week's adventure. Copalis State, S16. The runway was a bit wet though. But worth the trouble to give it a bath later.

I flew in the one that this was copied from, several times. This was when Lin Wright owned it in the 70's. https://www.theledger.com/story/new...er-moth-gets-new-life-as-replica/25775370007/

The below picture has Lin and Martha in the foreground and my parents in the middle. It is from the Dallas Morning News paper. I cannot remember who was in the background. They flew them into DFW for an anniversary of de Havilland. Lin was my dad's favorite Captain at Continental when dad was hired as a DC-3 co-pilot. They stayed friends but both are now gone.

High Sierra fly-in in 2019 before the crowd arrived:




And after the gathering was full. I liked conditions in the first shot more.

This was taken back when NASA cancelled the Space Shuttle program and handed out all of the shuttles to museums. This one was headed to the Udvar Hazy AIr and Apace Museum run by the Smithsonian out by Dulles Airport:

Idaho has some beautiful countryside. Been a few years ago that I was visiting inlaws and we took some four-wheelers up to Silver City ...

We are very blessed with what's in our backyard around here!

A good friend was a SLUF driver. Has plenty of good stories.

Could this be called a BLUF?
