SC Runway Junkie Runways are where the magic of flight begins! I'll take the pictures and post them here...then let them tell you the rest of the story!

It started for me on a simple grass strip at the farm, riding with Dad in his 1946 J-3 Cub, and it has never faded.

The first thought that came to my mind was "on the wings of angels"...Anyone else see it that way?

Not my best video work…but man do these two old birds sound good (except for those squeaky brakes 🤪)!

Taiwan 6727, when she was a brand new F-16 Block 70/72, on a test flight with the venerable Kfir playing guardian angel. Just the takeoff and pickup...will get the returns later.

She got a set of CFT's before starting the ferry flight across the Pacific Ocean, saw them in a picture when she left JNGB Ft Worth. So now she and 6728 are waiting for the weather to clear to make the final hop from Guam to their new home at Chihang Air Force Base in Taitung.

It's a shared thing amongst those of us that shoot pics at KGYH...a feeling that just a little part of us, along with a little bit of South Carolina too, goes home with every jet that leaves that runway for the last time. Vipers we've watched first flights here are now home and flying in Slovakia, Bulgaria, Bahrain and now (almost) Taiwan.

There's a really different looking jet coming off the production line now and I can't wait to see it fly...so stay tuned!!

Anyone want to guess, or know, what makes this happen when a Harrier "pours on the coal"?
