Continuing to make decent progress on 2027 calendars. Large groups of "Best of" mix calendars, featuring images of all subjects, are now ready for borders and choosing cover art. I'm now going to move back over to specialized titles of aviation and landscapes, and do the same prep work to them. That should take about a week or so. Goal is to have 50 completed calendars ready to upload to the printer (Vista Print or Shutterfly) by Nov 1st.

Aircraft activity to increase at Naval Base Ventura County

POINT MUGU, Calif. (Sept. 3, 2026) - Residents of Ventura County will notice increased aircraft activity and noise beginning Sept. 9 as Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) hosts large force test events.

Multi-service aircraft, surface vessels and unmanned systems will be participating, staging and launching from Point Mugu. Aircraft participating in the event will operate largely during regular airfield hours, but extended airfield hours will be required to support some test events. Operations are expected to last approximately two weeks.

Residents in Camarillo, Oxnard and Port Hueneme may experience increased noise levels during peak times (8 a.m. to 7 p.m.).
