• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

These guys showed up on Friday, just before the Hurricane rolled in.

Further down the road there's a half dozen C-130's and 3 C-17's.

Really affecting property values.....

Here's my breakfast from Sunday. No reason to post, just really looked good.

Had a C-130 fly over my house and I'm way out west. We see Cost Guard and Fire C-130s but a USAF gray is rare unless it is airshow time.
 
Love the C-17s. Get to see them fly over my work area every day on touch and goes. Sometimes I swear there going to drop out of the sky. They look like they are hardly moving.

Home made pancakes from scratch.....easier than a mix. I get one a week.

They flew the C5's out yesterday and today. One of them took forever to get out. They'd just couldn't quite get it ready to go. Crew would come out, get ready, start and engine....shut it down. Go away for a while....come back after the maintenance guys had played around. Started it up....shut it down.... crew when away again....

This went on most of the day, but this evening they got it out of here.

Once we had one break down in the middle of the Jordanian desert. Blocked one whole end of the ramp.
 
Ha, ha!

Yep, everytime we deploy on a C-5, we know that we'll probably be a couple of days late. Those C-17s are sure reliable workhorses and the C-130; well, what else can you say about perfection.
