Thanks! We are up in Green Valley Lake (between Big Bear and Arrowhead) and will drive out to the point to watch the fly over!

I Guess I'm spoiled, I see 'em all the time coming out of Pt. Mugu.
Got a sweet vid of one the other day while I was at work.
Amazing how quiet they are for being the size of a zip code.

Any idea what time the plane will take off at? I live near March and was going to drive down there to see this specimen. I will have some young ones at my house today that might find that plane highly amusing. They are impressive - I have only seen one though since I have lived over here.

Saw the flyover from Green Valey Lake and it was very cool. We were at a point above the Crab Flats area at 7400ft and watched as it darn near buzzed Lake Arrowhead....

That's cool.. I'm proud to say that I support that aircraft... It is an awesome plane, even more so that its built by folks here in SoCal.. The last manufactured (partially) aircraft left in California.
