Just a beautiful flying evening Terry for low VFR as winds died down and not a cloud in sight here
Lots of clouds over the bay - hoping to capture the C5M on the cam too
That has to be one of the most beautiful views I've seen in awhile. Sure beats living in the city with no nearby milair.

Venus (brighter one) with Mercury to the slight lower left...boat in bay and jet train from FedEx 5046
Just had a US Navy aircraft go overhead (via Sea Isle) into W-107 headed to USS Ship (on with Giant Killer on 135.725). They made contact with the ship and that was all I heard. I found the Carrier Ford off the coast.....94 miles away from my location

Terry,
Nice pic. I'd kill to have a radio horizon like that.
Let me make sure my life insurance is paid up to date before you do that - otherwise my wife might not be too happy about that.
As soon as I walked up into the kitchen (the house is upside down with bedrooms on 2nd floor not the third floor) - it was location location location. I immediately offered to buy the property. I knew the view from the roof would even be better for the antennas.

Terry,
There's been a couple of C-2s from NAS Chambers heading out into the Atlantic. Is the USS Gerald Ford still out there?

Based on comms I am hearing from Giant Killer the carrier is in W-105 at the moment.
Trying to determine the frequencies used on the carrier for aircraft control so that I can get a better idea.

I'll check with the FL guys and see what they have & let you know.
Yeah read that the USS Gerald Ford is in Carrier Quals again.. Added more crew and firepower.
USS Gerald R. Ford Could be Getting Crowded as Carrier Qualifications Commence
Thanks - I know I wont hear the ship side but it would be neat to hear the comms from the air side
Speaking of FLA, RCH340T, 07-7176 AE146E C17, on approach now near Titusville Florida. POTUS said yesterday he hoped to be going to the launch on Wednesday wonder if it is preparation for that.
No doubt.. RCH322T just arrived home at McGuire after Michigan trip and Quantico to drop off the Chopper.
