Like others, Spotter 2000 and I spend some time in the SW US looking for nice weather and lots of planes. And we got both. Below is by no means a clean log.

Not so pleasant surprise if the first a/c in the US is a well known (formerly?) Ramstein inmate

Nice score of 28 F-16s and 22 F-35s. Two runways, which means you miss some. This time it was the Koreans.
