Dallas/Fort Worth Area-October 2013: Something old, new, borrowed, and blue
Hello All,
Time for another update from the Lone Star State. I felt i was long overdue for another spotting trip up to get away from classes, and decided to plan it around this weekend's Air Power Expo (be sure to check out CO772ER's thread if you haven't already!).
Day 1: I was supposed to spend my first day out at Alliance, but sudden word about some hurricane evacuations coming into the Naval Base changed that around. While the good stuff we were expecting never showed, it still made for a decent afternoon of spotting. The light was awful for most of the day, so I apologize in advance for the first few photos.
Oh hey there Mr. B-52...

These guys came in from New Orleans, along with 10 others from the same unit as part of the evacuation

Then I bagged my 3rd F-35C, shame he couldn't have waited another hour or so

The local Reserve unit started flying, with some jets they just got from the NJ ANG too!

Every time I catch a C-40, it is always "831" always...

And the last jet of the day, and the highlight, this beauty slipping in to spend the weekend.
