A few from this weekend.

Lighting was a bit harsh on this bronco as he dropped out of the sun.


This one I was just really diggin the clouds.


I have no idea what this is but it sure is a good looking little jet.


This F-18 came haulin' in pretty quick when I was away from my camera, had to scramble to get this shot.


Next weekend is the first weekend of the month, I should be able to get some decent pics of the air guard F-16's as the fly overhead.

I was at the Teddybears Picnic on Sunday and this Gazelle flew over. The shot is dark, as the sun was overhead.
I know, the rotors are so still, it could almost be a model.

Oh, man! I just love the Bronco and the picture above is just superb!

As for the unidentified bizjet, could it be a Cessna Citation of some kind?

Hawkeye

Nothing really of interest lately. This Jet Ranger was on approach for landing and flew over the homestead.

Its not the workbench that makes the model, it is the modeler at the workbench.

Good to see a Jet Ranger, they're getting less common these days.

Nothing much either for me the last few days, a Tucano which is slightly unusual at home & a yella Sea King which is a very regular visitor.
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Except it's not a Gazelle.  It's a EC130.  Distinctive skids are a dead giveaway.



Cheers,

Got buzzed by a USCG HH-65 Dolphin helo as I left the neighborhood this morning.  Might of been the haze but it looked like it was overall gray instead of day-glow orange.

Not over my house, but then we NEVER get aircraft over our house! LOL

So here is a Beechcraft Sundowner 180 which I was fortunate to admire on the tarmac of Essaouira's brand new airport in Morocco on August 5...
