Nice!

Should be 12 caf around (were at Luke and other places as well).

Can you tell me which spot you were and if that caused any troubles?

Thanks,

10 Feb Thursday

Just like Wednesday, the F-117 was flying with 2 F-35Bs. They were flying in a 3 ship formation and landed together (approx 900am). I had only just arrived and had not checked the weather prior to leaving the house. I was set up for a recovery on Runway 24, and the jets landed on Runway 6. I got a couple photos, but nothing spectacular. Much chagrined, I switched locations and caught the following aircraft:

VMFAT-101 Sharpshooters: legacy Hornet SH 162/164247, 101/164903 (CO color bird), 161/164246, 165, 277

Nice "Winter Fury" action!
I'm told the F117 was in for four days and was 811?

[SBGrad]

Yah, overall, there was a lot of action going on, I was having fun.

Somebody got a photo of the 117 on Tuesday (which is how I found out), I saw it Wed and Thursday. I didn't see it Friday, but due to a lunch date I was only there a couple hours in the morning, and it might have been flying.

811? Probably.
