"my guy" Literally eats at Chili's. All I need to know about your IQ
Extra-Revolution7198@reddit (OP)
My guy is losing it

Where the heck is your Chili's at
Extra-Revolution7198@reddit (OP)
Right outside Hunter Army Airfield

Is your local Chilis on Osan AB?
Extra-Revolution7198@reddit (OP)
It’s just outside of Hunter Army Airfield

I remember when I was stationed there Ospreys would come in every now and then too. Keep your eyes peeled!

I thought it was the Kadena Chili’s, there’s a great spread of aircraft that pass through there!
PhoenixJayPi@reddit
I was going to say. That to-go door saw me way one too many times when I was stationed there.
MrFoolinaround@reddit
I was gonna guess Yokota since I know it’s got a good chilis.

VP-30 is still flying P-3s?

Hi welcome to Chili’s.

I hated working on those pigs. They literally bought old 707s that, in some cases, hauled livestock. Bull pee is quite corrosive!

P-8 MENTIONED 🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅
BaldingThor@reddit
Yep, those are indeed planes you’ve spotted.
BrosenkranzKeef@reddit
You can pilot spot if you go inside.
VikingLander7@reddit
I thought all the P-3’s were no longer in service.
Drifter808@reddit
According to wikipedia, "The final two aircraft are scheduled to be retired in February of 2025"
Johnny-Cash-Facts@reddit
There are also the NOAA WP-3Ds still flying.
Luchin212@reddit
It’s taken a loooong time to retire then but it breaks my hurt to see my father’s plane leave service.
kernalrom@reddit
Worked on P-3’s for 8 years. That’s VP-30

I know the last EP3 went to the boneyard recently. Like today or yesterday. All my friends in P3 land have been posting about it.

I’ve been on that E-8 before! Its 0200. The nose art was called “House Divided” and had UGA and GT on it.
Extra-Revolution7198@reddit (OP)
No way! That’s amazing
2ndcheesedrawer@reddit
What’s number one?
AlaskaGator@reddit
It’s 0200 of the E-8C fleet, aka “House Divided.”
Extra-Revolution7198@reddit (OP)
E-8 Joint STARS. Retired in 2023
matreo987@reddit
SOAR chinook is a cool spot
Extra-Revolution7198@reddit (OP)
Very cool
animalfath3r@reddit
That is quite the assortment
Extra-Revolution7198@reddit (OP)
Always something cool flying around
Kooky_Direction@reddit
One piece of advice..drop the shuuter speed for the propellors and rotors for some blur. Even a little makes a difference. https://flic.kr/p/2qjtdhG
Extra-Revolution7198@reddit (OP)
Cool picture. All I have is my old iPhone unfortunately
Kooky_Direction@reddit
You still have some control, I suspect. There should be a manual mode. 1/125 or longer is my advice.
Extra-Revolution7198@reddit (OP)
I’ll have to figure that out, thanks
Maximus13@reddit
I feel God in this Chili's tonight
tigervault@reddit
We have a strict policy here to not over serve. Apparently this young woman was sneaking drinks off of other people’s tables. I xeroxed her drivers license and she is not welcome at this restaurant chain ever again.
ArthriticKnitter1980@reddit
And the expression on the manager's face after he said that like he did something "big!"
No-Difficulty-8316@reddit
You in Whidbey?
flying_wrenches@reddit
YEAH P-8!!!! Let’s gooooo
eltorolocotoxicslut@reddit
Hell the Chili’s in Pooler has been great too, recently. I sense a trend.
Express-Way9295@reddit
I thought it was from Sewards Folley in Anchorage.
Astronaut2190@reddit
Cool pics!
TheVoicesSpeakToMe@reddit
When was this?… Wiki says the E-8 was retired in 2023?
Battlejesus@reddit
I got to see one of those doing a training flight above WPAFB and south Dayton. Pretty neat looking aircraft
Extra-Revolution7198@reddit (OP)
That picture is from 2021
RockCommon@reddit
Incredible
Admirable_Desk8430@reddit
Florida?

princess_fartstool@reddit
I was stationed there almost 20 years ago. That’s crazy to think about.
magnumfan89@reddit
