SG ended its day at the Redstone Army Airfield in Alabama. Not sure if that is its ultimate destination, but HUA appears to be an interesting site/operation.

Let me clarify a few of Brother Dave's statements. First, I just received a call from a reliable source that SG landed at KIWA to purchase a load of delicious jerky (beef, elk, buffalo, etc) from that guy that sells it out of his car on the south side of Brown Road; just west of Meridian Road. Second, while I appreciate Dave's opinion on how heavily loaded SG was or was not, you must remember Dave's never been heavily loaded in his life; he runs triathlons for goodness sakes. Third; take it from someone that launches heavy every morning (yours truly), SG was was full-up when she rotated this morning  ;D

Jeff,

Really digging your angle on your shot.  I can see the lines from the original design (KC-97) and how those lines were then expanded, greatly expanded.  And I'm not going to touch the beef jerky comment with a  ten foot pole.   ;)

Here's what my view looked like this morning.  Managed to get into position with no more than 30 seconds to spare before he was rolling down the centerline of 12R.

Look ma, airborne like a homesick (and lightly loaded) angel!
