Went out to NFW today to try to catch BF-2...ran out of time for that.. Roll Eyes
Met a nice family, Mom and some airplane nut kids out at the wally world parking lot, as well. They are new to the area and the boy is looking for places to spot.


It wasn't a wasted trip...this guy was in the pattern

So you guys didn't catch it? It took off at around 1PM. That green primer could be seen 5 miles out!  Afro

I waited around as long as I could...that four letter word that allows me food and shelter gets in the way sometimes... Undecided

Glad to hear they got it off the ground!
Congrats to LockMart Cheers

It is called Lemon Fudge Camo scheme. Very useful if you are fighting over an Avocado plantation field.

i'm a bit of a newb here (mostly a lurker from time to time), but am curious to start photographing aircraft myself. the main question i have, though, is how do y'all find out when stuff like BF-02 is scheduled for flights and the like?

thanks.

Hey gang,

I just got word (it may be old news for some of you) that there is an QF-4 demo scheduled for this year's NAS FTW JRB open house on May 15th. Can't wait.   Cheers

thanks.

It's really quite simple, some of the folks on this forum have friends in high places and they are kind enough to pass the word along to the rest of us. Watch this space diligently.  Wink
