What Did You See Today?

Post by grnbayhusker » Thu Mar 09, 2017 4:10 am

How about posting some pics of anything aviation-related that you saw recently?

I'll start with this KC-130J Hercules with VMGR-352 Raiders out of MCAS Miramar flying in to KGRB today. Very cool to see the black tail on this Herc.

Airborne training last night at Wright-Patterson AFB: Army paratroopers jumped from a Kentucky Air National Guard and a USMC C-130 twice yesterday, first in the afternoon and a second time at dusk.

No photos, but there were two C-130s and a C-17 on the ramp at Louisville International when I drove through yesterday.

Had a unique visitor to KGRB yesterday. N119NA, a B757 belonging to the US Department of Justice did some pattern work. It was very cool to see this non-descript airliner amid the usual ERJs and CRJs.

I saw a group of P-51 Mustangs that I believed to be the Horsemen aerobatic team flying over north Charlotte today! They were flying out of Concord Regional Airport and flew over my apartment on the way out and on the way back in. They also did this back in 2015 around this time of the year. Not sure why they use Concord for this flight. It's been a while since I've seen them at an air show, so this was exciting!

It all happened so quickly, I didn't get to take any pictures to back my story up. Maybe somebody else in the area saw them as well.

Caught this turbo DC-3 just now in Appleton. Awesome paint scheme!

A few pics of the four F-15E Strike Eagles that visited KGRB for the Packer/Ravens flyover. Included was the 75th Anniversary USAF commemorative paint scheme Strike Eagle!

I managed to shoot a few photos through the fence after they came back in also. Sure wish I could have seen more of them either on the ramp or doing some passes!
