Phoenix Deer Valley Airport (DVT, KDVT)

The shiny T-34.

The shiny T-34 is really motivating me to drive down to DVT Saturday morning, not to mention the B-25.

If I understand correctly, you should only have to drive over the mountain to see it on Saturday, as they're doing a mass formation flight to Sedona.

Yes, but I don't know any good spots to Sedona, and historically I've only seen backlit spots around the airport. And even though it would be cooler to see them there, takes me the same amount of time to drive to DVT (Even though Sedona is a lot closer in distance). But I might have to double check this one.

Not something you see at Deer Valley very often.

Great shot Chris. I was over at Dean's hangar having a beverage and heard it take off. We ran out of the hangar to watch it pull straight up. Not sure what it leveled out at. Had to be over 5000'msl. Awesome sound and sight for sure.  We drove over to it on the ramp and I have a few pics of it there while they were fueling it up but nothing too good because of all the people around it.

Cheers,
Chris

Awesome shot!. I was driving on Deer Valley Rd when I saw it by the end of the runway, but I figured that if it was taking off I didn't have enough time to go to the deck, so just continued driving and rolled my windows down. I heard it, and I saw it doing that vertical climb that F-18 pilots seem to love.

Thanks. I wonder if they got any noise complaints. It was pretty loud, and people aren't used to aircraft like that out there. Not like at Gateway where they are there frequently.

Army UH-60A during a touch and go. Does not appear to be any crew on board except two pilots.

Since this is a medical copter, I wonder if this is related to Angel Thunder.

Nice to meet Chris Kennedy at Deer Valley yesterday, a couple I got of the Collings aircraft, that P-51 was pretty! Am hoping I get the Me-262 at Glendale.
