SoCal Spotted Thread

[iforgettopee]

I don't drive much except on local road (Lewis and Las Posas Rd) to/from Pt Mugu Naval Air Station, so I've never seen another FL5 around here.

About two weeks ago, I stopped at a four way on base, imagine my surprise when I saw a SGP (same as mine) on the left!

I crossed first, in retrospect, I should have waited, turned right, and followed to say "Hi".

I always wondered where people were at when they took photos with the jets/planes/etc
I didn't grow up in socal - now I know! Thanks!

Have seen many interesting aircrafts on base, including Air Force One up close. been on board a few.

Lots of flybys fairly low over our neighborhood, especially during large scale exercises such as Gray Flag

Fortunately, nothing like the Battle of Palmdale: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Palmdale

I sometimes use https://globe.adsbexchange.com to look up flight paths.

There was an E2 yesterday that flew over our house, I looked it up, it came from Pt Mugu. landed at Grand Canyon airport, and flew back over hour house...

lol it was Target in Azusa
the yellow one is really photogenic

My philosophy on best color: "blend in and be least noticeable to CHP"...

over 20 years with no speeding tickets, if I exclude the 27 in a 25 on the local Navy base, given by a disgruntled officer who wanted to be a pain so they'll transfer him to a different duty station...

I do drive aggressively (or is it assertively) and as fast as I can when I believe it is safe (i.e. all the time), but I never "video game styled driving":

The California Highway Patrol (CHP) is deploying a new generation of low-profile, specially marked patrol vehicles (SMPV). These Doge Durangos are outfitted with a Hemi V8 engine, a police pursuit package, concealed emergency lighting, and a low-profile version of the CHP logo on their doors.

Honda cars and coffee meet on Sunday, June 1 in La Habra. I was at the location for a different meet last weekend and saw these FL5s.

Saw these while I was in SoCal a few weeks ago (ironically the only time it ever rains). Rented a DE4 for the weekend. Figured out who some owners were, and couldn't on the majority.

I always like a lil color, this 25' RR showed up next to mine today.

I almost got the red instead but another driver in the house wanted to match their B5 Blue Challenger SRT with my Boost Blue....
