| These were logged, but no position was given. | |||
| Unfortunately some of the B-52 units were not seperately identified, But this list does give a good idea what was to be seen. The 60-0016/LA was parked on a revetment on the north side of the ramp and carried a very faded grey c/s. This one looks stored or an instructional? | |||
| A lot of nice visitors on the ground, only few in the air. Around noon one of the B-2s left for a 5 hour mission, callsign Reaper 11. The plane had to backtrack first before taking off and made two interesting passes giving it ample photo opportunities. As it made a flyby at New Orleans saturday, I guess it will have flown there today as well. | |||
| One B-52 arrived around 1300 with a high speed pass, always impressive from a bone for a 360 turn and an airbase attack which they call the “wall of flame”. | |||
| Further not much military in the air, except for the excellent A-10 West Coast demo and a few high speed passes from the Phantom, together with a P-51 they made a few heritage passes. | |||
| From noon on the sun in the back, although it was cloudy sometimes. It got a lot better in the afternoon. | |||
