Matt - outstanding catch.  Did it just pass through on a gas and go?  Or is it leaving in the morning?

Rob, the flight crew said they would be here for six days.

This DPS helo made a quick visit to Willie on Saturday.  Not sure if it was related to the search for a lost hiker in the Superstition Mts.

Nice to see them in something other than straight-and-level flight!

One of the few times I've been a fan of the noise-abatement areas to the north of the airport.
