NASA Twotter at Willie today.  Someone on Fencecheck posted some shots of this bird in California last week and I thought "Boy, I'd like to shoot that thing."  Remind me to say that more often.

I didn't have as much time as I would like at Willie this afternoon; however, I got lucky and caught a couple of nice aluminum sewer pipes departing.

"You don't become a professional simply by earning certificates, adding ratings, or getting a paycheck for flying. Rather, professionalism is a mindset. It comes from having the attitude, the ethics, and the discipline to do the right thing — every time, all the time, regardless of who's watching."

It looks like there are x2 C-9s' in storage over by the Allegiant ramp.  Anyone know what the plans are for those aircraft?  Have these aircraft been retired by the USAF?

Yup.  Flew in from Scott AFB last week and will be stored at Willie for about six months before becoming part of the State Department's air wing.
