Notes:

Stargazer, the last operational Tristar in the world, returns to home base after a quick hop over from Edwards AFB where it was on static display for the air show. What an absolute treat to see beautiful machine in action!

Thanks all! Yes, Stargazer was absolutely the main reason for my trip to SoCal. They pretty much never publish their schedule so it's a very tough aircraft to catch in flight!
