Making four P-3's made up for all the misses on the P-8's (SMH).
A good day overall. Started slow, picked up, and slowed way down due to weather moving in. They were using RWY 25 but since it is summer the vegetation was abounded and got in the way at times. Mainly stayed on W Sullivan Rd which is always close to the action when rwy 25 is in use. Only good in overcast weather (otherwise backlit).

Any questions or remarks let me know.

Tally.
