Sadly I've not shot much WTI this round - too busy with projects not near the airport. But here's one...

Spent a little time at Kiwanis Park this afternoon... It was nice. Not hot. Not windy. No clouds. And fairly busy.
The H-53's were on a north flow and the UH-1Y's were on a south flow - never saw that here before.
It was good catching up a bit with Matt and Scott!!

BTW, as the PAO (Bennett) was telling Rob and I that there would be no more arrivals that evening, a CH-53 was approaching. I could hear it, as he was telling us there was nothing more to see. I got a kick out of that. All I could think of was this guy.

THERE ARE NO MORE HELOS ARRIVING TONIGHT. YOU CAN ALL GO HOME.
