Northrop
T-38A(N)

One of the few consistent things that NASA has been known for over the decades is the use of the T-38 Talon jet trainer for pilot proficiencies. These aircraft, taken from the USAF inventory, are used frequently, and, from time to time, will come through Amarillo to refuel.

This particular aircraft, N917NA, was originally an Air Force aircraft with the tail number 66-8383.

Lockheed
C-5M Galaxy

You really can't appreciate just how big this aircraft is until you see one in person. It's huge. Monstrously so. And when they come in for a landing, they look like they're just floating in the sky.

When I was stationed at Pax River in the late 80s, there would be C-5s that would come in to do pattern work from Dover AFB. They'd come right over the top of the barracks, but before that, they'd be on approach and they looked like they were stuck in the sky.

MV-22B Osprey

The 2025 Tinker AFB airshow saw an MV-22B Osprey demo put on by the pilots and crew of the Knightriders of VMM-164. The squadron is based out of Marine Corps Air Station Pendleton, and fly under the command of the 3rd Marine AIrcraft Wing.

The demonstration was top notch, giving everyone who was at the airshow a great demo of what the Osprey is capable of doing.

I used to see these on a daily basis when I was stationed at Pax River back in the 80s and 90s, but not so much in the last 20 years ive lived here in Amarillo. I think this migh be the second one I've seen go overhead, and the first I've been able to shoot here.
