Tucson-based RC-26B at Willie this afternoon.  Glad I finally caught this.

Nice catch. You'd think as much time as I spend out there I'd have seen it by now.  :'(

Would this have been "Sneaky 21" that I heard yesterday?

Ha Ha.

I just ran across these photos when looking for a different aircraft.
Dang,
I flew this airplane for 4 years. I am surprised you didn't turn into a pumkin
and your camera into smoke when you took the photos. ha.

Who is watchin' Who?

This spook plane did a quick gas-n-burgers-n-go this afternoon at Willie. Four guys got out wearing hawaiian shirts, shorts, and sun glasses. While they were clean-shavin, they did not have it "high-n-tight". I thought about taking a picture of the pilot/crew; however, I did not want to end up in Guantanamo wearing a t-shirt that had an "Osama" name tag - I am such a wuss!







I blew the departure while trying to pan at slow shutter speed on a very unstable ladder.

Congrats on catching a shot I've been after for longer than the combined lifespans of my children (the middle one of the RC-26B).

Thanks Joe. Since your crew is still small, it hasn't been toooooooooooo long   :o  No worries, you'll get this apparition. Just keep Paul visiting Willie and they start appearing out of nowhere. That being said, I'm told that Paul's magic does not work north of the Phoenix metro area  ;)

...but there is empirical evidence that it does work south of the Phoenix metro area, ;) x2

Nice shots!

You had a golden opportunity and you got the money shots for sure.
They are about to be phased out and replaced.
