I live close to the base, so I'll try and see if I see it

I'm not 100% sure, but I've heard it could be Oceana

Was hoping it’d be a marine legacy hornet, although I won’t complain if it’s a good lookin bird from Oceanarium, they had some nice looking schemes when I went in 2018.

The sun will be behind you after 12 pm.

One other thing... keep in mind that since it's going to be hot this weekend, there's likely to be more traffic on Route 1 heading to the Delaware beaches; Route 1 is the main route to get to Rehoboth Beach, Dewey Beach, and Bethany Beach and believe me they're all pretty popular.

Just been informed through a friend that one Thunderbird (advance pilot) is coming in around 5 pm and the Blue Angels are currently on their way. Had I known earlier I would have airlined back this morning rather than this evening!
