A couple hours ago...P-8, E-2D, a few F-18s, a T-38, and several noisy Navy H-60s.......oh I almost bumped my head on the wing of a C-12 walking back from lunch.   Saw the F-35 earlier in the week.

Every day - two Waco UPF-7s selling rides at (Katama Airfield) 1B2
Nearly every weekend, one or more AT6s arrive for a day at the beach - now and then they will play around with a low pass or two...

A B-17 flew directly over my house the other morning, but I couldn't find this thread!   Anyway, same flight path as my first post - hdg 090 about 1500 ft.

I don't get much warning and have a real poor sky view due to all the trees, but those old radial engines are unmistakeable.

New Braunfels TX 11:00 am B-25J ,P-39 at 1200 feet over the quarry I work in. They fly out out of San Marcus TX the CAF has a wing there. When theirs a airshow at Randolph AFB the WWII Planes holding area is right over the quarry, I park what ever I'm operating and watch till I'm told to work or get fired. Its a thrill when one of the planes peels off and does a low pass over us.
