The Hawker Hunter was an amazing aircraft

Central Coast AirFest from October 18, 2025 in Santa Maria, California.
Finished my day of #Xplane #flightsim flying at Madera Municipal Airport. This is where I soloed, so it holds a special place in my logbook.
Interesting find on the ramp. You just don't see a Cessna T-41 Mescalero every day.
"The Cessna T-41 Mescalero is a military version of the popular Cessna 172, operated by the United States Air Force (USAF) and Army, as well as the armed forces of various other countries as a pilot-training aircraft."
This hour's random desktop background image on my #MacbookPro is this great shot (not mine) of the B-25 bomber "Betty's Dream" parting the hair of beachgoers at Maho Beach on the Caribbean island of Sint Maarten.
If you do not know about Maho Beach, it is one tiny two-lane road away from the runway end at the island's major airport. Everything from bizjets to 747s come in VERY low over the beach. And when they take off, the jet blasts literally blows people into the water.
