Interesting to catch an AAS equipped P-8 making a low approach at a field that is not home base or a detachment location.
When the AAS pod is mated, P-8 is not permitted to do practices landings (“bounces”). Curious what the reason for the approaches would be.

Went back to my logs to look - I flew this jet, side number 234 (BuNo 167085) many times while in Kingsville.
The last time was as a lead on a night formation training flight on 3NOV16.
Most importantly - crew is safe. Order up another Martin Baker ejection seat tie.

There is an alternate history where the B757 could have lived on far longer than it had. But it would have been a much different path than a re-engined jet launched after the 9/11 downturn.
It would have involved an unbuilt, maritime patrol version of the B757. ⬇️

On-site with a client at [REDACTED] Intl and saw a parked Sun Country B737 in the old livery.
The “tide pod” livery is a step back - wish they would have kept the blue scheme - and even better - the pre 2016 with the light blue globe.
@SunCountryAir - bring the old livery back!…
Bird strikes have been the biggest hull loss threat for T-45 historically for two reasons.
First, bases are in major migratory flyaways - meaning sharing the airspace with big bids.
Second - F405 / Adour is a small motor. Can’t really handle ingesting vultures or raptors.

If true, this is a remarkable stowaway survivable story.
Time en-route for RQ4401 is roughly 1+30 hrs, and Kam Air flight cruised at or above 30,000' for ~45 minutes.
Time of useful consciousness at FL300 is only 1-2 minutes. Amazing that this young man survived!

In light of recent events it's worth highlighting that what you see here, both the Russian and the allied aircraft, are conducting normal, routine activities.
And always nice to get timely photos of what was identified.

I don’t know about all that. Tough to dissect outside of the vault.
That said - AIM-174 has a bad name. Gunslinger is something that does the slinging. A missile is what gets slung.
The Navy can do better!

Lockheed’s Vectis looks like it represents a different way ahead from the USAFs CCA programs - stealthier, more expensive, more survivable.
There’s a question: what is the right way to get the mix of war fighting capabilities and air power needed? Do we compliment F-35, F-47,…
