Maybe this is cheating, but these are my photos from the past 3 days.



Warbirds from Tom Wood Aviation departing from KUMP on 7.21.19 to Oshkosh.

S.211 arriving at KUMP on 7.21.19. Presumably taking a stop before finishing the journey to Oshkosh.

A Beech 18 (C-45H) seen rolling out of the hangar at KMQJ on 7.23.19. Total coincidence that it rolled out at the time I got there.

Had the chance to take a few shots of the Red Arrows on my way into Chicago! Sitting on the ramp and undergoing maintenance after their first performance in the USA on their North American Tour. Hoping for no rain so I have a chance to see their Sunday performance.

In 2006 I said I'd never go to Memphis again, but I had to go, so there I went today. While I sat in the parking lot, I saw several commercial/cargo jets flying in and out of MEM. The best thing was the C-17 I saw fly over. Looking at Flight Aware, I am pretty sure it was heading for DOV.

I was just driving by UCY with my parents and saw a small plane flying (couldnt tell what exactly) straight up, then it came back down and then did some loops. My mom said it must be a student just learning to fly. :lol:

Apparently there is a cargo airline called Ukraine Air Alliance that has a single aircraft, an An-12.
I didn't actually see it, but we heard a low hum of an airplane that sounded like it had multiple prop engines. It's dark, and I couldn't see it from my window, but I heard it. I checked FlightAware and it was the only aircraft showing up in the area, currently on its way to Texas. I wish it had been during the day so I could have seen it.

I remember an An-24 or An-26 some years back going over my house in England. I noticed the hum of its engines was quite different from other turbo-props so I checked FlightRadar24 and there was an Antonov going over, gone astray or something. I could only see it hazely in a blue sky since it was at 20k + feet.
