I must say what everyone is thinking but damn that thing is impressive.

They are wicked airshow performers , if ya asked the crew to do a back flip , yip i'm sure they could arrange it .

so this morning we have been hit with a quick turn over of aircraft following the domestic flight departing at 1030hrs with the arrival of the c17 departing about an hour later and followed by the quick arrival of a c130. the two aircraft were able to be seen in the air at the same time the cloud layer is much higher today providing good visibility of the aircraft. I would expect to see the fence line packed again to day when I head out to the airport for a little look.

Yesterday afternoon saw plenty of action followings the mornings antics with the arrival of 3 Huey's, and 2 NH90 followed by the arrival of the c17. The arrival of the c17 came at a bad time with the change in wind causing some delays causing a herc to cercil over head for about half an hour.

Today has been very quiet with the arrival of a further Huey. A herc has arrived and departed in the past hour.

Today has been the worst day to be parked on the airport fence with little visibility and little traffic for the day.
