What airplane did you see flying today?(airplane spotting)

I saw the CAF Helldiver flying over Gulfport MS this morning heading westbound.

Very cool -- I saw it go over my house ~10 miles from its home. Wish I had noted the time, but sure didn't...

The Houston-Galveston area is lousy with warbirds right now, way too many to report, nice problem to have!

(Who's Avenger, the deep blue one?? Kathleen the Corsair was the latest flyover. )

Zorro -- very cool pic, thanks!

Saw a Grumman G-73 Mallard depart and return at Minden, NV today.
There is also a PACAERO Tradewind parked on the ramp. It had me puzzled as it looked like a Beech 18 but the tricycle gear and single vertical on the tail threw me. I had to look it up when I got home.

Well, it finally happened -- looked up when I heard a jet going over, and it was a 262! WOW. Appeared to be headed east from the Clear Lake area, just cruising 'til out of sight.

Saw this flying over Lynchburg yesterday...sorry, I don't know my Navy planes...it has the radar disc on top...some sort of AWACS?

[K5DH]

That would be a Grumman E-2 Hawkeye, the Navy's carrier-borne AWACS platform.

While sitting in a parking lot I saw two contrails right in line with each other. Once they got closer, I saw that they were two B-2s. First time I've ever seen them besides an air show--very cool.

At an elegant wedding on a great hill at a mansion in York, Pennsylvania in the middle of a country club. Absolutely nothing to do with airplanes..... And then an AT-6 buzzes the wedding, circles and buzzes it again! What are you telling me life?

Was in the Big Apple this past weekend and saw a B-17 I think was Aluminum Overcast flying over the city, very nice...

[BigGrey]

A short while ago, two ATAC L-39's departed KMEV headed SSE. They headed the same direction yesterday also.

Huey. Wasn't flying but on a 5th wheel trailer. Olive Drab looked to be in great shape with all rotors only no skids.


Location: South Kansas City on 150 hwy at the corner of 150hy and prospect just west of old Richards Gebauer airbase. Truck was bright blue and said G&T Services or G&T Towing services. Why such an aircraft would be coming off that side road i have no idea. Nothing aviation related there that i know of.
