Wish I could spot things like that from my backyard. I think that is one ot them there Centennial Schemes on that there Navy bird.
 
Unusual markings on that Prowler. I wonder who owns that. I am pretty sure they have all been retired.
I think they are still operational , heres another from a few days ago , still a long way from salt water here ,The 130 is from this AM .Don't hesitate to add any of your own that you spotted
My neighbours must think I'm nuts

Are the Americans invading Canada?
Its a tourist destination even for aircraft they all like to do a lap or 10 .The 130's are based at Niagara Falls Air Reseve base so about 10 miles away so I usually ignore them unless they are foreign

It's by chance that I found this thread. I live 10 miles south of Austin, TX and a few minutes ago I heard a piston twin that had some power. I spotted a twin at about 2000-3000 ft and two miles away. Then it looked like two airplanes in a tight formation then I saw it, the horizontal stab connecting the booms! I could not believe it, It's a P-38 !!! I have never seen one before and I love that plane. I just came in to check flightaware but it showed nothing (must be VFR) so I was looking through the forum and found this thread. Sorry no picture.

Soooooo 'effin jealous!!!
 
I thought about it again today and could not help but smile. The only other plane it could have been was a Cessna sky master, but it was not, I wish it would have flown closer.
 
Her in Sydney, the only aircraft you can spot are big birds from the airport.

The only others are helicopters, and when you see one of them it means someone is in strife as they are rescue helicopters.

Don't count helicopters as they are a constant presence here Bell 406's and Hughes 500 can't go more then 5 minutes without seeing these sight seeing things
