December 14, 2025 - Air To Air Photo Mission
Time to get some current beauty shots! We’d like to thank Steve Sweeney for donating his time to act as photo ship, as well as to Edgar Xiong for assisting as one of the mission spotters and backup photographer.
Flight crew preps for departure.
Over the central valley, where the Tule Fog remains in full effect.
Orbiting south of Mt. Diablo. Incidentally, we just found out that the peak was the northernmost point of the training grounds for the 540th FTD.
Exiting the valley and heading out towards Mt. Diablo.
Breaking off at the conclusion of the session.
Never one to shy away from a good “hello” wave, Tia clearly lets the photo ship know that we have them in sight..
“Shopping for props? haha. Annie soars past Altamont Pass!
Another photo from the orbiting session.
