Description
Had just gotten home from walking Petey (lots of time to walk the pack since I'm out of work), when I heard a familiar rumble. Stepped out onto the lower deck in time to see a C-130 and first one, then a second Sea Stallion approaching from teh east.
Ran ouside and to the street just in time to catch them circling back, even closer to the house, so I whipped out my ancient cell phone and snapped a couple of quick photos using the crappy camera on it (that's how close they were).
This is about the best of the half dozen I got and the closest they got to the house. You can even make ou tthe refueling dogues extending out from the wings.
Paula arrived with her binos, so we could check out a couple of other birds off in the distrance and we determined they were V22 Ospreys, but they never got close to the house.
All in all, a couple ofA4 Shyhawks, or maybe T-45s, probably as chase planes, four of teh six Blue Angels, the free refueling demo with teh Herc and the two Sea Stallions, and the two Ospreys--not bad for free viewing...
