Scramble Messageboard

Not mentioned in the thread yet, but USN/USMC brought planes to Nellis as well. VMFA-232 brought half a dozen jets, they flew Monday and Tuesday. Seen on the ramp, but not in the air (so far), EA-18Gs from VAQ-135 Black Ravens (including CAG bird). Late this morning 3 F-5s from VMFT-401 flew in and ...

I've shot Spanish Typhoons at Red Flag 17-2, but I've never even SEEN Italian or German Euros, let alone Italian F-35s, so I've already booked a hotel for M-Th next week. Anybody sees my car at the Speedway and/or Cheyenne, feel free to say 'hi.'

One of my more fun days at El Centro. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49605308551_68c8b9f087_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49605559397_9361bdd461_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49604798493_2212890015_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49605308666_da9f06955e_b.jpg ht...

Per Thunderbirds Instagram, all 8 Thunderbirds jets are in El Centro. Blue Angels instagram says " Stay tuned, we have some really cool stuff lined up this week!" so I am guessing this will be more than one day. I will be out there tomorrow (Thurs).

Interesting. WP 00, 02 (164569), 06 (165592) and 09 from VMA-223 ended up at KPSP (Palm Springs Intl) by 1230 on the 17th when I dropped by the air museum there. When I left the museum approx 2 hours later the Harriers were still there and an Osprey was landing.

Most of the Civ aircraft depart El Centro immediately after the show on Saturday, and some military as well. I've never stayed over for the Sunday after the airshow, but I can't imagine it would be too active.

The AK Raptors were still at Miramar as of this afternoon. NASA927 (RB-57) has been at Miramar for a few days (haven't seen it, but flightaware has been listing daily flights). Kalitta brought in a 747 from Wuhan, Miramar is one of the US quarantine sites so there may be more flights like this in th...

Last Wednesday the wind was very strong (24-29kts) from the north, so all strike recovery was done on runway 3L and 3R. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49487922671_9a514f2ca5_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49488133272_61c868f9b9_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49487428433_7c...

Dog Beach.

Summer, eh? Vastly more crowded, but still doable.

Just a very few additions...
