    Once in a Blue Moon ... (from yesterday's neighborhood walk)

    This, from my friendly skies today. It was crazy, a trio of these aircraft flew in together, likely coming from California or elsewhere on the West Coast.

    Apologies for not zooming in closer for a better view, but what are the chances that these are the same aircraft photographed on the same day at separate locations thousands of miles distant?

    The first one would land, the other two would circle back. Then the second one would land and the last one would again circle back before its landing.

    Moose Proofed!

    This year the budding tulips and leaf sprouting raspberry branches survived last night's Moose walk by.

    Here is a closer view of the above USAF Transport Aircraft from my concurrently taken video:

    This mid May afternoon a convoy of three United States Air Force Transport Airplanes arrived in Alaska. The first landed and the following two then circled back with the second then landing.

    Watch this video which captures the third, and final, plane descending for its landing after it has twice circled back:

    Do they still have this race? I built Soap box derby cars for 30+ years, the race Is still pretty big in my hometown, held on the 4th of July every year.

    I believe it is still an annual event.

    It’s very unlikely they are the same planes. The plane I photographed is stationed in Southern California and it was in a flyover at an Angels baseball game for Military Awareness Night.
