    @Pistol Pete Remember that Warrior that was about to take off when I landed yesterday? Turns out I'm friends with him on our Aviation "facebook" type page. I posted a picture on there and he commented saying he was there. Small world!

    There's a bunch to the southwest of you in Abilene.

    Odds are that you'll hear them before you see them.

    I've always wondered if plane watching is frowned on near the bases.

    How bad is it there today? Thankfully I was only there on Thursday and it was pretty easy.

    It's pretty packed. I'm at Daniel's field and the runway is only 4000' so there are a lot of light jets and turbo props. It always a mad house at these big sport events.

    There are also a ton of people lined up along the fence in lawn chairs just watching airplanes.

    I'll bet that is a popular spot for how close it is. The shot I posted was from AGS. Maybe someone will get a nice shot of you flying in or out today.

    Air Force can't do a thing about it. In fact, some towns have even made paved lots near the bases where people park to plane watch.

    Flew from Augusta, Georgia to Oklahoma City. We knew the weather was going to be rough going into it, but it is always interesting to watch it deteriorate from good weather to truly awful weather.

    Here is the radar once we were on the ground at Oklahoma City, KOKC. Notice the lightning everywhere.
    image.jpg

    On descent into the airport we caught some photos of the lightning around us. That's not daylight or dusk, but lightning just behind the cloud.
    image.jpg

    I couldn't get a video once on the ground, but here's a sequence of photos showing the lighting over the airplane.
