    Carrier Bush doing some E-2 Computex sea trials with E-2 Greyhawks of VAW-120 offshore North Carolina. Maybe if they finish up soon can relieve the USS Ford later on her way to the Med/Middle East. Extended deployments really reek havoc on carriers.. Carrier Truman overhaul added 6 months and...

Those crew folks have been on deployment for over 200 days and Navy Brass not happy about it and am sure crew isn't either. Seems carrier Bush...

    Thought I was hearing things with Aero Mexico flight on GK 118.125. Seems they gave both 789 types a shortcut across the offshore restricted area both enroute Madrid Spain. Guess no F-22's were up :)

    Looks like KC-135 JAKE-12 took the reins from COPPER-6 for the second half of trip just NE of Dallas. A single KC-135 like COPPER didn't last long with 6 F-16's :)

    You are sort of missing my point. A simple party balloon lazering is not the threat,.The fact we can't ID it is.

Not expensive to equip standby drones with a bright $80 dollar flashlight to go up and ID a possible drone target. Instead we...

Bad news is good chance for rain Sunday at Daytona .. again. See what happens...
