Mornin Greg, I will keep my Late June calendar open in case you have time. And thanks again for your FLOGs (Flight Logs) we all enjoy. I didn’t get my full message typed when I accidentally hit send last time . I was going to add that Kristen “Beo” Wolfe, the F35 Viper show pilot flies one part of her routine right over my house at about 500 AGL. Heading south out of the base she does a 270 degree right roll immediately into a HARD left which brings her over my way by the mountain . She then makes a hard right to circle back for alignment over the runway and does a super zoom to about 6000 AGL. All of it while in full military power with glorious dancing diamonds . And unlike the 16 which is quiet, the 35 is heart stopping loud and literally shakes everything around and every house. Noisy but sounds like freedom and fun too. Tim H.

Because a lot of you asked what this means. "RESUME NORMAL SPEED" - Used by ATC to advise a pilot to resume an aircraft's normal speed . It is issued to terminate a speed adjustment where no published speed restrictions apply. This does not relieve the pilot of any applicable speed restrictions such as 250 KIAS below 10,000" or 200 KIAS below Class B airspace.
