Great catch Bill. I love this front oblique perspective.

Any late news on D-M shutting down for repaving in December? Locations for A-10s, C-130s, Homeland Security, Alert Birds, etc during this time?

Haven't heard anything but they were flying today.

Looks like they had to throw on some end panels on the stab and find a bunch of access covers just to get it to AMARG...

Is DM still open? Or what's the deal on that?

[Daniel DeSart]

Today I had a NASA 377SGT-F Super Guppy at DM.

He actually took off and landed from the opposite direction than normal air traffic.

Though he snuck up on me, I didn't let him get away.

Sitting in front of Ops, not sure if it's a gas-n-go or what. Nose isn't open and I'd hate to think that was a last go round the pattern before going into AMARG.

They should clear this kind of stuff with us dang it all!!!

[Joel Hamm]

The nose is open and lots of people running around. I watched but saw nothing come out. There is a large load of cargo sitting on the ramp though. Hope she stays overnight.

Wonder if AMARG has some odd-sized piece of sumpn' to go who-knows-where?
