I will be there ^^:)

Tan hat with a big G in the middle and a green shirt will be me.

W00hoo

It was great to see everyone again and meet a couple
of new Chrises. Thanks to all, especially BOB W the host.

Thanks to all and special thanks to Bob the host ^:)

My friend Bill wanted to head back to the Kenai early, so
I didn't get to Arctic Thunder. Ah, well, some other time.

Many thanks Bob W - hope the clean up was relatively easy in the end! :) Glad to meet a few new folks and reconnect with others. Even got to watch the Blue Angels from downtown without the traffic mess - bonus! :D

Glad to meet you!

It was pretty spectacular. :)

(I ended up videoing most of it, so I didn't get as many good pictures as I probably should have.)

I had a late start today... well you can imagine why :p

Was another epic evening :D

I did make it to the Arctic Thunder in time to see the Blue Angels :cool: and found some discounted edible merchandise heading out after it was over ^

Anyone know what this is?

"Bone"
too bad I can't see the tail number ... I worked production avionics checkout and flight test at Palmdale on the first dozen or so, and was part of the Boeing delivery team for #2 and #3 (#1 stayed at Edwards AFB as a flight test bird)

So, weird flight home (well the FAI-SEA leg) - pilot comes on to tells us our route has been diverted and we'll be flying at a reduced altitude because there are "bombing exercises/practice" occurring and fighter jets are occupying the air space in which we were meant to fly?! On the plus side got some cool dusk views of big mountains super close. (Pilot was no help in identifying them because, as he said, he'd never flown that route before!)

Wow, that was FUN! I really enjoyed my first "DO", and want to send thanks BOB W for hosting this! The what amazed me on my flight home was that there was NO ONE on the FC upgrade list. (it was sold out anyway - I could not see it because of using miles for my return home so I asked.)

On my return I declined the food (burger) I was too full and could not eat anymore. I also sensibly declined a PDB and in flight beverage. :)

Sorry didn't capture the tail. But here's the nose ;)

the name shows up well enough, so I was able to track it down ... Line #93 (of 100 production B-1B aircraft)
