Remarks: LAFD's chopper making a tight turn after taking of from Van Nuys...returned minutes later, perhaps because someone did not close the water dump valve on the Simplex 300 gallon tank, which can be seen here losing water. We on the ground were 'baptized' in a way by this 'heavenly water'!!
Remarks: Close-up of Williams Sonoma 1994 Canadair Challenger CL-600-2B16 N888WS taxiing to RWY 16R for departure, with a friendly pilot waving hello, acknowleging my presence.
Remarks: A recent acquisition to Clay Lacy's inventory, this rare Grumman F7F-3P Tigercat (G-51) NX909TC is seen here taking off from RWY 16R during some pattern work.
