Whoops, found another estate sale today. There was only one model left on the table and somehow it was exactly the one we’d hoped for. Meet our newest find, the P-51 Glamorous Glen III.

Good morning, Lockheed Martin! I love this house, so much. A Japanese F-35B doing first flight checks right above the house, I’ve got chills! Sometimes I wish I’d been around when it was still Carswell. I can only imagine the sound of B-52s and F-4s echoing across Fort Worth.

Grateful for everyone who’s served and still serves. Thank you for all you’ve given. Happy Veterans Day.

B-52 Stratofortress at Nellis AFB during Red Flag 25-2. Couldn’t resist this angle, the smoky engines just never get old. Who else is counting down to the next Red Flag?

The anniversary of this post is coming up. What aircraft should we do this year? Chances are we have it, or we need to make a bigger pie.

Happy 250th Birthday to the @USMC ! Here’s a handful of shots I’ve taken outside of Miramar* over the years. *I love spotting there but Miramar was still cooler as a Naval Air Station.

Happy 250th to the US Marines! Had to share a moment from our local F/A-18 squadron, VMFA-112, the Cowboys. This clip’s from a few years back at Alliance Fort Worth (KAFW). Nothing quite like the sound of a legacy Hornet up close!

Here is everything we purchased today. I still can’t believe what we found. Only thing not pictured is the bookcase we purchased. Will need to return for that this afternoon, can’t promise we won’t get more when we do.

We went back again today… Found some more treasures we somehow missed the first day. I’m super excited for my Junkers JU-88A. So many antennas on the nose. It looks so cool!

Anyone have any info for @JakeWoodwardAir? Pretty cool catch he got recently!
B-1 question for the aviation community, when was the last time we saw a WA tail code on a Bone? Been digging and can’t find anything concrete. Any leads out there?

End of the day video of our estate sale finds. So grateful to be able to give these pieces a second home. There are so many items in here that I’m personally excited about, and I’m so thankful to have a husband who loves sharing this with me, and doesn’t say no when I ask, “Baby,
We are supposed to be downsizing for our new house. Instead we went to two estate sales and added to our collection…

Kicked off the estate sale trail with a great find. The owner had worked at General Dynamics, so you can imagine the treasures tucked away in this one.

Pretty sure @F35Pilots got the memo to flex right over our house. Appreciate the show, Lightning21! F-35 bound for Jacksonville, on test flights out of NAS JRB Fort Worth on a perfect North Flow day.

Another little Corgi model I found of an F-4 Phantom. I had to get it since it has the refueling probe sticking out. We believe it belongs to a KC-97.
