@jadamzs I went last in 2024 and it was busy, but not as tight as you’d think. But security for bases has gotten tighter within the past 2 years so I’d get there with time to spare before flying starts at 1100

Cleaning through old cards and found shots of this bird from earlier this year.

This 737-800 owned by RTX Corporation spent just over a year in Waco and departed on this evening in January bound for Chino via Victorville.

@HarbingerOf747 @thenewarea51 CRANE (Reg: 25-3200) is the other 747, and was acquired from Lufthansa back in January. It will serve as the trainer for future VC-25 pilots, while VADER (Reg: 25-3300) will serve as one of the primarily AF1

CRANE01 and VADER01 spent an hour together on the ground after VADER arrived from Greenville and before CRANE departed for Andrews

Final frame is both 74s with NASA’s 777

Haven’t even begun to work on shots from this weekend. But was able to hightail it home and catch Fifi’s last landing and takeoff during her second day of show practice at the field.

(With a CRANE01 feature as well)

@jadamzs Can't say I've had the privilege of meeting that friendly gentleman yet. I need to stick my lens around more and maybe he'll appear

What. A. Week.

Apaches and Chinooks out of Fort Riley brought a show to the field and served as beautiful transient traffic on the ramp this week.
