Spent yesterday afternoon just trolling between a few of my favorite spots to watch jets land, take off and taxi out. I used the Live ATC app to time the shots and was able to get a good mix of military and civilian jets on their way out and coming home.

Enjoy!

It's a small world! Yeah, I used to fly Freddy until May of '10 and now I'm 'flying' the Global Hawk at Beale. I worked at CP for a year, so chances are I alerted or reset you at least once! LOL
