When I was a kid I remember when three B-52s flew by in close formation and low altitude, it was like an earthquake.

We don't get B52s here any more. Just a lot of those C5 Galaxy behemoths. Sometimes you want to duck when they make low passes here.

Still do not know where the 52s came from probably Fairchild which had a SAC wing my brother was stationed there and we saw the B-47s back in the day. The original 52s were something else though. I was in law school in Tacoma in 75 when they were evacuating Nam C5 or 147 every 15 min or so.

C-130 training flight over Gold Creek Pond today -- the plane was lower over the pond, started climbing before I could snap a picture.

Navy was busy yesterday over the Tumac Plateau. Six different aircraft came smoking over Dog Lake, over Cramer Lake, and right over where I was hanging out at Otter. Never ceases to be a thrill.

There is no C19, and that is a C17.

according to the pedia, c-19 is the military designation for the Boeing 747-100. so it does exist but it's also not the plane seen here. Really neat photo by the way!
