    Two more should be going any time now. 4 of six are gone. I missed number one and saw the other three go. One from ground level and I made it to the tower and got outside on the tower for the others.

    Yep, about two minues after my last poast they called for taxi on ground and went right to the front of the line for 13. Pretty whimpy climb out. They did a slightly more "verticle" version of the whitestone climb though still to procedure.

    shame that they can't get an unrestricted climb up to the flight levels around here. that's always a treat! two USAF F-16s did that out in PRC when i was there a few years back, was pretty cool to see...
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    I was stationed down at MCAS Beaufort for a while and it was always fun to see this. We had 9 squadrons of hornets so it was a common thing to see. Took it for granted then and would love to see it done again.

    From another list, they were from VMFA-533 out of MCAS Beaufort. They stopped at NAS Willow Grove before heading up to LGA.
