My first proper look at the USAF's newest Stealth fighters at low level came early on Friday morning after a semi-fail being in the wrong spot for them the other week.
This was the second jet of a 3-ship, already sporting some dirt on the top-side!

On the stand after landing at Edinburgh airport is this USAF Boeing C32 transport plane. On board was the delegation for the COP 26 Conference in Glasgow.
The Boeing C-32, (Boeing 757-2G4), is a military passenger transport of the United States Air Force, providing transportation for United States leaders to locations around the world. The primary users are the Vice President of the United States (using the distinctive call sign "Air Force Two"), the First Lady, and the Secretary of State. On rare occasions, other members of the U.S. Cabinet and Congressional leaders have been authorized to fly aboard the C-32 for various missions. The C-32, since its debut, has also served as Air Force One in place of the larger VC-25A to airports that cannot accommodate the Boeing 747-based "jumbo" jet.

Climbing out from RAF Lossiemouth is this USAF Boeing C40 Clipper. The C40 Clipper is the very popular 737-700 airframe.
Taxing for departure from RAF Fairford after the 2024 RIAT airshow is this now rare sight of the USAF KC10 Extender from the"Travis AFB".
Sadly only a small handfull of this wonderful aircraft are flying as they get replaced by the new KC46 Pegasus.

Thanks to all who have visited, commented or faved my photos. (It would be nice if you left a comment too) It is very much appreciated. Constructive criticism welcome
I had very good relations with USAF military.
The kingdom is under constant Marshal Law.
Its enemies surround the Kingdom.
Persia/Iran and Iraq; and the Shiites and insurgence Wahabbis within and nearby. Also, Yemen being supported by Russia.
A jet plane can take off a land in the Dhahran airbase from Iran in less time than it takes to find them, and board planes to prevent their attack.
The second time
The second time was after a 3 year sabbatical in Florida when King Faisal University I Dammam appointed me Professor of Architecture and offered me to teach in the Eastern Province. It was with great favor that we returned . My last contract with Al-Foadia in Riyadh offered me a simultaneous consultant contract providing me with housing, telephone, and expense account.
The dean of King Faisel University requested I start a chapter of the American Institute of Architects and Bill Brew , the US consul assisted me to make all the arrangements with the Prince of the Eastern Province.
It was during this time that we were able to assist the US Embassy in Riyadh to start holding services in the Embassy and after the Khobar bombing assist the US military to form a counseling team to comfort future tram victims. I located a great 3 bedroom apartment in the same building we lived in when we were with ARAMCO and a very strong used Buick Park Avenue.
Many trips to and from Al-Khobar and later to both India, Philippines, Leipzig, Germany and South Africa to assist our students develop their work in their home countries.
On November 11,1999 Al-Muhaidib was kind enough to provide us a one way ticket, hotel room and Mercury Marquis to depart the kingdom and return home to the USA just in time to get a great job with Lee County I have recently been called back and for the early part of 2008 worked in Qatar.
