Well taken Ozi, the second implied mid flight

Both FA-18s, Ozi. Exaggerated angles make them look different.

Ozi,
Very nice, spotted them before once I was in SCA at one of the Airfoce museum.

Believe it or not, these things are everywhere in Lancaster area. There are huge Boeing/McDonnell Douglas plants and others, and there planes in front of many civic buildings. The one in question was out the front of a baseball park.

Tomorrow we drive out to Mojave, past Edwards AFB and right past the "aeroplane graveyard", should be interesting.

Yes, those areas are the present base of Boeing/ McDonnell Douglas, and mainly military hardware are assembled or produced from those plants.
If you're around that area long you'll spot lot of huge military cargo planes come and go.

That graveyard is mainly for commercial and you'll spot lot of commercial jet as 747, 737 parked in row as toy.

Edwards AFB is usually have their opening day and airshow in Oct or Nov. great time if you are still at that location and join the crowd.

And cross Mex. border?

Good point chief, no, I will row due west for a while, THEN head south west.... No use getting stuck in Cucaracha. Cucamonga is bad enough.

Always like a pie but not too many these days. I've lost 16 kgs since Christmas and aim to keep it off. I'm eating lots of American chook, and Mehican food. Goos stuff, especially the home cooked variety.
