Awesome day at Willie today.  Northrop-Grumman's BAC 111 even made an appearance.

[Paul Dumm]

Can not tell if that is an F-22 or the F35 nose on Northrop-Grumman's BAC 111 ?

[Matt Ottosen]

It's an F35 nose, according to what I read in the Internet.

Sad that there were ten Hornets that day and the one pilot that gives us a wing dip was a Pegasus driver.

[Matt Ottosen]

Here's some of those Hornets not giving us a wing dip.

I'm moving tomorrow, so tonight was my last drive home through Willie.  Apparently some cosmic forces lined up and had this Saints' CAG-bird waiting for me when I drove through.

Impending eclipse:
