Forgot to post this, but I saw this guy at Willie a month or so ago.



Also happened to catch this Cobra come in for about 10 minutes.

I usually only catch one C-17 in the air during their two-week stay for the weapons school rotation.  Caught two on Sunday, including one that did a touch-and-go.  Here's to lightning striking twice:

Yeah yeah - image quality is in the B-/C+ range.  But the backseater is throwin' up a matching set of proper horns, so I'm more or less obligated to post it.
