Luke Day 2018
This weekend is Luke Day, and of course I'm going. Listed on the site: Access Denied are these static displays:
AH-64, A-10 Thunderbolt II, AC-130W, C-17, C-5, F-15C, F-15E, F-16 (69 FS), F-16 (AZ ANG), F-22, F-35 (Japan), KC-135 (AZ ANG), KC-46, HH-60G, OA-X (Light Attack Winner), and T-38. I plan on spending a lot of quality time with the AH-64, C-5, C-17, F-35, KC-46, and OA-X, once I figure out which one it is. They're also going to have the Blue Angels performing this year, instead of the Thunderbirds. Watch this space for pictures. |

You're a lucky guy Aaron. Be sure and take lots and lots of pics. Looking forward to seeing them.

I survived another day in the sun (barely), and made it to Luke Day 2018.
Here's the standard warning As soon as you walk in the gates, you're greeted with so much airplane goodness And this guy, who looks like he's ready to eat the audience The headliner, The Blue Angels, coming back after 25 years (has it been that long??) Navy P-8 Poseiden (lots of reference pics taken) F-35 (They do exist!) B-25 Maid in the Shade P-51 F-15 Phoenix PD AS350 Obligatory A-10 shot Smile when you say that T-50 F-22 Aero L-39 |

Behind the scenes of Planes 3. (I wonder what F35's talk about when they get together?)
C-17(Many tons of ref pics taken) This is called an RV-8A Hondajet (Rather than take pics, I just stole the plane) Business end of an AC-130 Jack Links Screamin' Sasquatch was there. This was as close as I could get |

not https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luke_Day From every one who could not make it, thanks for the pictures. And what is all that blue stuff up in the sky, and where are the parkas and slush shoes? I am envious, everyone looks warm. |
