A flight of two MH-47G's from the 160th SOAR stopped into North Gate Aviation at KCIC for a quick fuel stop before lifting off again and heading East.

TU-2S 1078 as PINON53 performing a few low approaches before heading back to Beale. The second shot has a guest appearance from TAHOE41.
We saw 078 at the end of June with the tail codes in white, it appears to have been painted over with the usual red we're used to seeing...
TROY328 & N814KB - Customs and Border Protection aircraft parked on the ramp at North Gate Aviation.
I was admiring the HH-60 and TROY328 came in as a hex, so I wasn't aware of what it was until it was on the ramp parking š«”
PINON61 - 1 of 3 remaining TU-2Ss with the 1st R.S practicing some approaches at KCIC today. Only 5 TU-2Ss were ever built.
1078 was damaged in 2021 and had all of the necessary wing repair and PDM work completed at Beale AFB.
1 airframe has been retired and 1 lost in 2016.
I've confirmed that the two targets operating in hexagonal surveillance orbits over DTLA these past 36 hours are both MQ-9s, callsigns TROY701 and 703
As 703 replaced 701, they passed each other in the airspace near Yuma, AZ where I found this needle in the haystack! Listen š»
A North American B-25 Mitchell from the Victory in Europe showcase during the California Capital Airshow. A beautiful WW2 medium bomber first used in the Tokyo Raids in 1942.
9 days until Capital Airshow!
Some pictures from last year's Capital Airshow VFA-122 Super Hornet demo team. Lt. Caleb Smith, Lt. Dan Padden, and all the maintainers put on a sweet show!
Happy Wednesday! Back to wet weather here, unfortunately. We were just in the 70's!
I caught the final run of the day for TKR181 yesterday, been a busy past couple of days for AeroFlite at CIC but unfortunately I've only been able to catch small pieces due to other obligations.
N345CP - Britten-Norman BN-2B-20 Islander stopped by CIC for a quick weekend trip. A unique plane I can check off my list!
Hopefully, they brought their golf clubs! We've had some beautiful weather this weekendš
