Missed the call sign because I left the scanner stuck on clearance. This P8 (170018) popped in for a quick visit before being cleared back to Jacksonville.

JESTER11 F-35C from the 461st Flight Test Squadron out of Edwards AFB, taking off after a hot pit at NAS JRB Fort Worth and heading eastbound. Easily the highlight of my day. I’ve crossed paths with this jet before, it was previously with VX-23 “Salty Dogs” days and also caught

Heading somewhere fun for the weekend. 😉

Made it to Atlanta.

Now we start the drive.

Driving in Georgia and seeing billboards for my hometown. So strange.

Stay tuned for tomorrow morning and all of this weekend. We are doing something extremely exciting.

Who wants a hint for tomorrow?

And the best part of this whole trip? Meeting up with my husband at DFW Airport! He flew in from Puerto Rico this morning and waited while I dropped the dogs off and made my way there. He had some awesome goodies from some very good friends, check out our newest patches! Which

We’re on our way this morning!

This weekend, we had an incredible opportunity, an invite to the bombing and gunnery range in Georgia to witness A-10s in action. The famous 30mm gun with an airplane built around it. The audio isn’t a political endorsement, just a perfect statement about this beautiful beast.

Day 2 at the bombing and gunnery range. Starting out strong this morning with some brrrt action from this A-10!

A-10 putting that 30mm to work out at the range with the 76th Fighter Squadron, the Vanguards. Shot over 900 frames today and already cut 205. This is the only one I had time to edit tonight but there’s more coming. Don’t blink. Some of the best is still on the way.

A-10 from the Flying Tigers dropping four BDU-33 25lb practice bombs at the range. These don’t explode, but they kick up a puff of white smoke on impact. Right after lunch yesterday, these guys came in fast and hot. I wasn’t fully set up yet, so I just grabbed my phone and

Making our way home today but we couldn’t leave without a quick stop at the Museum of Aviation at Warner Robins AFB. Right as you walk in you’re greeted by this impressive F15. What a welcome!
