Here are some more from Saturday'

EA6B Prowler one of my favorites!

I ran into these guys in Grand Junction last Friday on my way to Oregon. I actually knew the pilot. Good to see they made it through the nasty WX in TX.

BTW, Doug at GJT has passed the reins to Jesse. Solid guy and he loves the military just as much as Doug. Definitely a MUST STOP refueling stop for anyone going that direction. The memorabilia there is truly amazing.

This thread keeps getting better.
Just wondering- are in-cockpit shots frowned upon?

From what I have seen in the TRACOM it is a no-no (in the TRACOM that is). Unless you are trunking a form flight or on a cross country with the IP at the controls or something like that....

Agreed. The VFR leg on my cross country thru the Rockies was topped off perfectly by flying into GJT. Go there, buy gas, and eat the amazing pizza if you have the opportunity.

From those of us doing our aviation appreciation tour:

View from the top of historic Hangar One. The climb to the top is a shooter school tradition. It's about twice as high and four times as big as a standard hangar. For those who don't know, Lakehurst used to be an airship base and is the site of the Hindenburg crash. No, that's not me in the photo.

We went out to the ALRE test site. This is a picture of the first full scale EMALS (electromagnetic catapult), currently under construction. Good luck getting it installed on CVN-78 in time!
