Great shot, and good to see these things going throughout the UPS system.

That is a fire tanker and those are water outlets right?

A busy day. Started out departing Ontario, CA and flying to Sacramento Mather, then here, then (as seen in this pic) back to Ontario, then to Raleigh-Durham, and finished its day at Philly. KONT-KMHR-KRNO-KONT-KRDU-KPHL

Thanks Richard.

Thanks a mentor. It would be good if FA could add the type as it would help many folks with photos of the GD F-111s they'd like to upload.

Richard - they always were, dump and burn of course the most spectacular, but high speed with wings swept - so cool, and the sound was thunderous, shook every bone in your body - yee-ha!

Thanks Mike. From what you were doing in those days, it's amazing you can recall it - only joking!

Thank you guys. Our next treat, according to the FA list is a Qatar A359 Sunday night which is a shame - landing in darkness, taking off later in the night, but that's changed since I looked yesterday so you never know.

Impressive from any angle. Great shot.

What is the low hanging container at the furthest right of the image?
Neat pics Dwight - seems as if you may get more as the next few weeks go by.

G'day Richard - they've been a pain in the ass since 1945, but I get what you're saying.
Written on 14/08/2020 by Gavin Hughes
Neat pic Mike, and hear hear to your comment. Noticeably extra traffic into/out of Adelaide today (Saturday 15/8), including Jetstar which has been the more consistent carrier since this mess began.

Thanks Dwight and I agree the Gulfstreams are my favorite also.

She was scrapped in 2010. I flew on her in 2008.

This is my all-time favorite aircraft ever! Nothing compares to the grind this baby makes when taking off! Again, my most favorite aircraft ever!

We had a chinook in Germany where the #1 engine sucked the axial compressor blades all the way back to the centrifical compressor and it continued to run but not well. Lycoming and chinook is a great combo.

Hey Gavin, Maybe you should come and live in the UK, then you can listen to the sonic booms go off when the RAF are scrambled to intercept these damn planes that have been seen flying down the south coast (over Bournemouth), the North Sea, The Irish Sea, etc. In honesty, the Russkies are a pain in the ass and guess they really don't have mush else better to do. In the meantime, a YouTube video /News item from earlier in the year... enjoy your plane-fest https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbPoLHGEXDU

These Citation X are my favorite modern private jet that is not a Gulfstream. Nicely captured here with a stunning livery!

Very interesting aircraft. It is apparently the only commercial airplane that while it is in straight and level flight can suffer a bird strike from the rear! A bit slow, very stable and an excellent specialty plane, joking aside.

Nicely done, Dwight.

It is an MD-10-10, modified by FedEx to MD-11 cockpit configuration to eliminate flight engineer position. FAA did not change type from DC-10-10.

Because DSM is the main airport in a major swing state we get a lot of election related traffic including Mike Pence's multiple visits to DSM. This is my first time getting a pic of Air Force Two. I also tried a new location for the first time as well. This was taken at a socur field about a quarter mile from the threshold of Runway 13.

Thank you
Landing an aircraft with a tail wheel (tail dragger) is an art that comes with good training. After all, when you consider the dynamics of a three-point landing it is actually a controlled crash.
