My thread of flyovers @TAMU in these past couple of years:
(I’ve shared these already)

My first time I’ve been able to do flyover photos was when the @BlueAngels flew over campus on their way to the TSTC Airshow. Got one of my photos printed and then got it signed by most of the pilots. Very cool experience.
(I have better photos later)

I had a plan for that 2018 Thursday game. I was at my apartment after my class at Blinn and I heard jet engines. Obviously I have to run out with my camera. Sadly I wasn't quick enough changing out my lenses, so I was stuck with my 18-55mm
4 beautiful F-15 Strike Eagles opened up the 2018 Football Season. Had a lot of fun chasing these beats.
Blackhawks are cool. The highlight of that day though was the campus photos I got (might share those at some point)
I GOT TO SEE THE F-35.

This was from Friday when they showed up. I walked around the whole day with my camera in my bag and it wasn't needed till close to 5. That was an awesome experience.
The next morning was fun. Woke up, picked up a friend, ran to Easterwood, got up close and personal, watched them take off, ran back to my apartment, caught a bus to the Drill Field, took the photos, and hiked our way back to my apartment.

Though we could've stayed at KCLL...
Probably the hardest (physically and emotionally) flyovers I've taken photos of was the 21 Plane Salute for George H.W. Bush. Got to watch and take photos of it with my dad (he got probably the best sequence of the Missing Man)
Let's have a Thursday Football game again. It'd be fun they said. I spent the day at Easterwood waiting for these things to show up. It was August and it was hot. Please stop, TAMU.
As an aside, here's the Fighting Texas Aggie Band leaving @flyeasterwood to go to Clemson
After spending a day at Easterwood, again, finally watched Texas National Guard F-16 Fighting Falcons flyover campus.
A combination of Blackhawks and a Chinook flew over campus last October.

(and a wild @clarkent_ there too)
I found a new spot for flyovers for the E-2C Hawkeye flyover for my last one (for the foreseeable future as well). The ILSB has a balcony that gives a decent line of sight for flyovers and I tested it out with the Hawkeye flyover. It worked out pretty well.
and that's it for now

please stay home so we can get football games and flyovers in the fall

I wanna see cool planes again, maybe the F-22 Raptor
