Seen at Denton - a Cessna 152 up at DTO diving pretty steeply for pattern altitude for some reason.

Had to make some quick adjustments on the fly from what I was using for a very different set of parameters.

My favorite pic of my favorite airplane. Meant to include it in post #81 but couldn't locate it then.

People posting airplane pics on Barnstormers or TAP should learn a few things from you.
Is that daylight coming from under the door?
Yes, the fading glow of dusk.

What was the process for getting permission to photograph in this kind of an active environment? You have captured amazing shots!

Well I did ATC at MCAS Miramar SD and the controllers that work on the carrier also worked at NAS North Island. They called over and asked if we wanted to check out ATC ops on ship (CATCC) during work ups for deployment. Flew out on the C-2 and spent a couple of days. Wish I would’ve gone on the last trip the next week because they were winding down OP’s and they did supersonic passes on the ship.

Ive seen Julie a couple times at air shows. I have a signed picture from a show when I was in my mid teens. She’s an awesome pilot and great performer. She’s definitely on the list of people that lead me down the path of being a professional pilot.

This is such a great flying aircraft! Lucky to be able to have flown in it a couple of times!

I know it must be quite a challenge to get the fuel hookup, but how on earth does that pilot manage to swipe his credit card?

Jesus take the nut.
Misty was the callsign for VX-5 (now VX-9) out of China Lake.
Desert Storm - Our two fighter escorts and one TARPS Tomcat and we (EA-6B) were the SEAD (Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses) escort. We did a lot of escort of the photo recon Tomcats along the beaches of Kuwait lending credibility to the misguidance of there going to be an amphibious landing. It got kinda routine until the Iraq's moved an SA-2 in overnight. The target tracking radar popped with no prior EW and we got a HARM off the rail about the time we sighted the first SAM headed for us. The SA-2 being a pretty known quantity got jammed and it detonated a good couple miles away - still an impressive kaboom.

I was flying through Whidbey Naval Air Station Class C airspace and talking to their ATC when this bad boy flew under me. I knew it was coming, but its passage was so quick it still startled me.
