I was able to get a few photos at KLBB tonight of:
LASAI AVIATION's N1098L

as AXLE10
It was almost dark by the time I got there so sorry about the not totally crisp photos.
I seriously have to give big props to my chauffeur & husband who
Drove by Dyess today, tried real hard to get in trouble, apparently. Ma'am stay back from the fence 30 ft. please. 🤷🏼♀️ I swear the security was like area 51!

Okay, not awesome quality but for the distance and altitude, not horrible. About 14 mi, 20k ft...

I absolutely love these airplanes! Here are a few of my C17 friends from today. They decided to get a little closer than they usually do and I waved to them from my back yard!

The George H. W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum at Texas A&M University has a very nicely diaplayed former United States Marine Corps Sikorsky VH-3D Sea King 159358 often used as Marine One.
Very much enjoyed the entire experience.
👋🏽 hello everyone, I hope you all are well! Finally getting a little better. Really, REALLY do not recommend getting Shingles! LOL
Had to run out to KLBB with my kiddo today before he heads back to school. Apparently it is Touch and go Tuesday so we really enjoyed the trip.
I'm so proud! My son sent me these that he apparently took from his bedroom window with his Iphone. He also included ADSB data... I'm rubbing off on him 😂
Finally a good day, snagged this E4B

A couple of the planes flying by this morning...
A Beech MC-12W Liberty (I think) out front and some refueling training Out back. Hope everyone is having a wonderful Thursday.
If you wanna see some really cool memorabilia and hear some great stories, go to a senior living center on Memorial Day. They have seen a lot!
The man who belongs to the mementos in this post is now a woodworker, and he made those wooden art pieces.

This is such an incredible painting & story! I never would have noticed so many of the details or known what they meant without the explanations. Awesome thread.
The "Red Knight", a T-33 piloted by Chris Rounds 5/18/24 @ Central Texas Airfest that I just happened to drive past in Temple on the way home from College Station. Of course we HAD to stop 😂
Haven't ever seen a C-5M before so I was blown away by the size compared to the standard stratotankers that I'm used to seeing. It was a ways out from me and trying to catch up to the tanker but the size difference was striking.
AE0367 KC-135R *empty callsign* 63-8011

Some more C-17 action out of Altus today. A little different callsign than usual. Really appreciate this particular flight path over the house!

I describe it as eerie. Of course only 90% here but very quiet and like somebody pulled the dimmer way down. This one bird tho... He stayed real close and seemed a bit confused 😂
Good night, been a long couple days but getting better now I'm hoping. Thought kidney stones but turns out maybe shingles plus a medicine reaction and a few other stupid things. I really have not enjoyed this much. LOL hope you all are doing well and seeing all the planes!!

In case you are like me and still learning about airplanes. This spot by
@BranomJaeden
is so cool!! I found this YouTube video by talking about this aircraft so you can learn too!
When I am bored waiting for something closer than 10 miles out, I do silly things like measure shadows 😂😂 what do you do? I know I'm weird, what of it?
Weekend project... We built this pool ourselves 20 years ago. Every 10 years, we have to replace the liner when we open it for the summer. This is our 2nd liner after the original one, and it's always a full family effort. We still have to cut out the light and a few other
Ok, I'm waffling LOL. Even though the photo isn't focused at all, after seeing all of the other photos, I do at least think I got traces of the actual colors. Lubbock, TX
Aircraft were teasing me today by getting pretty darn close but not quite close enough 😭😭
Offenders Included
64-14836 Boeing WC-135R Constant Phoenix
AE6BE7 believed to be B-1B out of Dyess

FYI ... Really appreciate this guy right here. Not only for his content & dedication but he's also helped out this silly old woman multiple times and has yet to tell me to "get lost". 🤣
This bird in the back this morning is SO TALL! I would say at least 4 plus a little feet tall if I were guessing. I'm no expert at this identification game but is this one a great blue heron or something else? I am pretty sure it must be lost. LOL
@tillykium
Love when these C-17s out of Altus AFB give us a good backyard view on their training runs. Beautiful planes!😍 Instead of moose, I just call them big sexy. LOL

Y'all don't judge too hard, they were at like 24000 ft and it's cold as heck plus I don't know what I'm doing with this camera yet 😜

And some random plane that looked cool 😂
I know I'm way behind, but finally saw the Blue Angels documentary last night. So much respect for the entire
@BLUEANGELS
team. Their schedule, skill, precision, teamwork, and dedication are 2nd to none.
Buy a hat & they'll throw in some fireworks for free, just like the gun store throws in a gun with a qualifying hat purchase!
Or maybe i have that backwards?! 🤣🤣🤣
When you can spot planes, wildlife, and drink coffee all in the same place AND on your own property (or the deer's property) before it turns into a burning caldron outside, things are good ....
I do not know who this LASAI AVIATION II LLC is but this plane just flew over me really low and I am in love! 🥰 OMG what a beautiful airplane!!
I didn't have my camera out but just walked out the back and thought it was gonna land down the street!
7 years 6 months 15 days and not a single day goes by that I don't think of him and wish he was still here. My hero and the smartest, most capable, kindest, and fierce man I've ever known. Love you Dad ❤️
And since it was such an absolutely gorgeous day today, a few birds were about (none were planes though).
Burrowing owl couple, scissor-tailed flycatcher, scaled quail, mourning dove
I'm thinking of stopping by the base today and taking a peek since I'll be over that way anyway. Hopefully, there is a nearby roof away from the general public for me to perch on. 😀
I am reposting this to say thank you to
@SR_Planespotter
for always being encouraging and for constantly educating, giving tips, and helping so many (like clueless me) who aspire to reach his level of skill some day.
When someone has passion about a particular thing, it shows.

Quit what? I hope everything is ok! Whatever it is you're quitting, if it doesn't bring YOU joy, don't do it. I'm always around if you need an ear or shoulder. Wishing you happiness!

I even saw a short snip of an interview with him on the news tonight. I yelled "Hey rewind that, I know him! That's
@ChowdahHill
! He's awesome!!" Like I actually know him 🤣 and proceeded to educate everyone about cookies, dogs, and aircraft carriers.
