@SR_Planespotter I work a lot of 737s, none are heavies. Is it another heavier participant?

[istareatairplanes @InstntNoodlChef]

@DJSnM Working it is like working two different airports. The two "halves" have agreements similar to facilities have with other facilities.

@SFJET147 @isohavok They used to do it more often. We'd get them on the mid-shift flying around in the dark.

@thenewarea51 @ENAIRE @Iberia It's a fun video. I've relayed messages to my son and wife through the pilots and they loved it. I can't imagine talking to them on the radio.

@thenewarea51 @LadyAstroJet We've been told the FAA is looking into it. We work a lot of LEO/LEA helos in our airspace and have occasionally gotten TCAS RAs but for the most part the pilots work really well with us to keep the operation safe

@SFJET147 @EightOneECHO @dave16hc @philmc100 @SFspotter8 Oh dang. I'm actually off that weekend but now I'm debating it

The Luftwaffe and last bit of morning fog

[istareatairplanes @InstntNoodlChef]

@Combat_learjet Appreciate it.

[istareatairplanes @InstntNoodlChef]

The Luftwaffe back for another visit.

[istareatairplanes @InstntNoodlChef]

@thenewarea51 Thank you. We've been getting a lot of love from our locally based aircrews, flight schools and Airport Operations.

Usually people only talk about us when things go wrong so it's different to get so much attention.

Snowbirds over the old Raiders practice field

[istareatairplanes @InstntNoodlChef]

Snowbirds departing OAK to the show

[istareatairplanes @InstntNoodlChef]

@DJSnM Should still be a fun show. I'll miss the roar of the point nosed fast jets but the Patriots and Snowbirds put on solid shows. Plus watching/ working the Snowbird launch and recovery is fun as they do both with great precision.

[istareatairplanes @InstntNoodlChef]

@SFJET147 Yep, there was an E-2 flying around for a bit under the finals.

[istareatairplanes @InstntNoodlChef]

@FliesADesk A little before they left.

Fallon Falcons at OAK

[istareatairplanes @InstntNoodlChef]

@SFJET147 @sfghonu Sadly, it wasn't that long if so I may have been able to hop over there for better pics. They took off early evening.

[istareatairplanes @InstntNoodlChef]

@SFJET147 Yep. They were on the ramp most of the day. Left around 630L

[istareatairplanes @InstntNoodlChef]

@SFJET147 For a little while he had HAF in his data block. I thought it'd be interesting if they stopped by there but they took off down south instead
