Seen while flying today

Can you spot the traffic? There's a P-51 there although it's a really poor shot of one:

These were parked near me:

I think they are from Luke AFB? If so, they are a long way from home.

I noticed some vultures off the runway during one of my takeoffs. The Mighty C-150 couldn't climb above them so I tried going underneath- about 3 of them must have thought I was a threat and dived past me, or they were showing off. It was surprising to see them so close like that as they dove past.

I was sitting in a Turbo 182 when the P-51 did a fly by. He should fly more often!

The name is printed on the top of the tail of the F-16s I couldn't read it though.

My shot was just a couple of seconds after he went by. They had me fly right traffic to get me out of the way for that fly by.

I also saw National Guard helicopters landing (they called me "Target in sight" to the tower), air liners, etc. I called it a day when it started getting busy for people coming in to the game.

EDIT- zooming in on the picture reads "GAMBLERS" in the stripe on the tail fin.

The "LF" is the tail flash for Luke AFB.
