EAGLE32 made a surprise visit to NASJRB Fort Worth on its way home to NAS PT MUGU. Not a common sight to see an E-2D Hawkeye in Texas.

Long live the "Raptors" from VMMT-204. This squadron did some impressive flying and have one of the coolest patches around.

Here’s Spirit3 making a surprise and single pass at Dyess AFB yesterday. So glad I was in the right place at the right time.

A few snaps from a recent trip to see the Oklahoma Air National Guard 125th Fighter Squadron "Tulsa Vipers". A departing South Carolina ANG "Swamp Fox" visitor snuck in as well. Have Glass F-16s with a splash of color, nice.
