Nice shots, that is one shiny Cessna!

We've also got three or four C-17s hanging around right now. Nobody is entirely sure what they're up to. They kind of come and go at odd hours with no discernable pattern.

Most likely bringing in support equipment for the exercises?

We don't think so because they've been known to show up like this in the past with no known event going on (Red Flag, WTI, Major Airshow...)

Nobody has ever figured out where they go. Nobody has ever seen anything being loaded or offloaded and nobody has ever reported them just "dropping in" at El Centro, Yuma, Luke, Holloman or Nellis (so far as we know.)

They just go off to do some kind of tactical trash hauling practice of some kind but we'll be dipped if we know what it is...

:p your in the new Area 51

#2 is great, that takes A LOT of work to keep that thing so shiny.

Don't know about Area 51 but our State Government often makes it feel like the Twilight Zone...

Comrade Antonov is supposed to handling that chore later this fall...

Oh that's right, I remember Senior Copalman mentioning that awhile back. That'll be a fun photopg experience.

Unfortunately, it's only a Rumorski so far...
