from Megan Frances Fox 46 twitter   I would hope some of our excellent UP photographers capture some shots too.

Damn 

And yes I’m back

The Panthers have had a USAF jet quartet form a low elevation flyover for the opening game of the season several times.  Our Dilworth house was less than a mile from the stadium and apparently in their flight path. The first time it happened my wife was in her garden at about 1 pm when they came over and scared the pee turkey out of her. She came in and asked me what I knew. I told here and revealed that I had read it was to occur. She made me take an oath I would inform her of these events in the future. (I seem to attract low flying jet aircraft)

@CLT_King you are royalty up there in the exec suite of Duke Energy!   Saw hello to Lynne!

Unfortunately no building, but I got a few close ups of the C17, it was amazing to see, and way faster than you’d expect

I'm not a huge plane guy but that thing looks badass.

I feel like I see C-17s fly out of CLT rather frequently^^

Anyway, Sunday Evening:

C-17s do fly out of CLT regularly from NC National Guard base at the airport and frequently head due east to Ft Bragg and Pope AFB

Google Earth has finally updated Charlotte with imagery from August 29, 2019 and April 2, 2020.

I did a comparison of Uptown in 2002 vs 2020.

Google Earth didn’t have to update too much in First Ward...lol. Stonewall and South end are always impressive in these comparisons.

A glance at the VUE this morning at about 730 reminded me that this building has oh-so-slight obtuse angles on the north and south sides that interplay with light at just a few minutes each day.  It’s easy to forget these subtle details since they’re incredibly, mmmm... subtle.  But they do add some cool visual texture to what’s probably normally perceived as plain flat sides.   I wish it shown like this more often/longer.  Pretty nifty.   And of course the obligatory QC power line makes an appearance.

Google Earth via my desktop. You have to select the "historical imagery" clock icon and use the slider to see the Aug 2019 and April 2020 imagery.

Something about this sentence doesn’t sit right with me...

I did another comparison, this time for SouthEnd on 3/31/2002 vs 4/2/2020. The area has come a long way!
