Posts made past 02:30PM 12/30/24 won't be on the new site!

Well, things are going to happen in rapid succession now... I'm going to do a final database backup at 2:30PM CST today. After the vBulletin team gets it - the new site should be operational "with all posts" soon thereafter. Then following a series of checks, and if all goes well, I'll post a link to the new forums here soon.

Thanks for your patience,

    What's over Denver, CO?

    Tuesday the 27th about 12:45 PM, I heard then saw the plane make about 4 high passes. 4 Engines,,,I grabbed my binos and by the time I got them focused it was pretty high/far away, I believe it is a P-3 Orion? Can anyone confirm?

    Yup! it just made a low-slow pass past my place.
    P-3 Orion...natural aluminum and white with some black striping.

      Sub-chasing Orions at former Moffett Field NAS were white on top and bare alum or silver paint on the bottom.


      But, P-3s over Colorado? Those bad-guy submarines are making it pretty damn far inland these days, eh?

          Yeah, that's exactly what I thought!
          It made a few more passes. Positive i.d.
          P-3 Orion, white on top and natural aluminum on the bottom separated by a black stripe.
