Caught all four bombers this year, would like to keep the streak going into 2026, especially as some of them get new hardware

GE Aerospace's Flying Test Bed landing at Victorville after a flight test last week There's plans to do durability testing on their newer engines in the Middle East next year, so hopefully I can catch that

Stratolaunch's "Spirit of Mojave" minus Talon We'll see if it flies today

Lot more people behind me too. Pretty neat to see

Northrop Grumman Systems' Turbo Stationair (N8898Q) working the pattern at Palmdale earlier this year It's got the same white/blue/gray livery as the SCAN sensor testbeds, so curious what kind of equipment it has on board

Welp, fuel leak means it won't be flying this week or next probably The problems never seem to end on that program

Always check your NOTAMs X-59 first flight imminent 👀

Nice catch there, Combat King didn't fly the day I went

I wouldn't necessarily call them elusive. I think only the OT and WA tails don't have the fiducial markers
