The HH-65 flies over my house quite often.

I spotted Obama's heli (Marine One), another Sea King?, and a Chinook. They were heading back to O'Hare Intl. where Air Force One was parked.

If God had wanted the army to fly, he would have made the sky brown.
If God meant man to fly, He'd have given us bigger wallets.
If God had meant for men to fly he would have made their bones hollow and not their heads.

I was at the ft worth air power expo 2011 today, aside from what you would usually see at an air show, NAS ft. worth JSB is also home to the f-35 testing faculty.
while the f-35 was not on display at the show itself a "test stand" variant was visible on the other side of the main runway I got two pictures of it but both came out very blury.

Wow...that's a lot of aircraft.

I saw an F-16 just randomly out here in the middle of nowhere.
