I was going to ask if that was El Centro. Two of them were flying over the rest area on the -8 as I was getting into my car to continue my PCS journey. It was a pretty stormy sky they were flying towards, but they looked sharp.
We're here on det and it's rained for almost a week straight, unheard of! VAQ-129 is here too, apparently this is their last two weeks with Prowlers and they are just trying to finish guys up.

From Thursday on, it's been non-stop on the news about what is essentially some rain and some wind. If you believed San Diegans, the world was about to end.

I've always thought they were weird, but in a cool way. Those props must be a nightmare for any mech.

Always liked the lines on the Bear. That ebay page seems a little fishy though.........using wiki to describe it makes me want to call "shenanigans".
