Over the next week, there is hope that weather will clear and we’ll be able to experience the sights and sounds of Okinawa Naha International Airport as well!! Other streams throughout the trip will pop up as able, including possibly a stream from one of Japan’s famous bullet trains 🚅 - the Sinkansen!!

‼️✈️ SpotLAX/CDF Update: It’s unfortunate, but I have to announce that due to work schedule conflicts I will be unable to join everyone in LA for this year’s SpotLAX/CDF weekend in September. It breaks my heart because I know a number of you were looking forward to meeting up again, and I was looking forward to meeting many new friends. There is a silver lining here in two ways, though: First - I will be bringing some very special live streams to you during the month of September, so keep your notifications on and keep watching the channel for more info. I am very, very excited about the locations I’m planning to bring to your screens!! Second - while I know everyone was also looking forward to a new installment of the Codeshare Crew, don’t be too discouraged yet. We are working on something special for the one or two Codeshare Crew streams planned for that weekend, so stay tuned to @the.random.spotter @runwaydfw and @reverseops ‬for more info in the near future!! Enjoy the festivities for me as well in LA, and I’ll see you soon!! #therandomspotter #codesharecrew #CSC4L #runwaydfw #reverseops by @the.random.spotter

A rare sight outside Alaska - a Lynden Air Cargo L-100 departs from Guam for a support flight to Rota, a Northern Marianas island that took a direct hit from Super Typhoon Bavi 5 days prior. All while a Japan Airlines 737 performs touch & go and low-level vectoring maneuvers in the background. Date: Saturday, July 11, 2026 (10:54am ChST) Airport: Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport Location: Tamuning, Guam, USA Foreground: Lynden Air Cargo Flight LYC701 GUM to ROP N401LC Lockheed L-100-30 Hercules 51 yrs old (1975) Background: Japan Airlines Flight JAL4671 GUM to GUM JA309J Boeing 737-846 18 yrs old (2008) by @the.random.spotter
WHO WANTS TO SEE A ROCKET LAUNCH?? As long as cell service allows, I’ll bring you a wide shot of the SpaceX Starlink 17-36 Falcon 9 rocket launch tonight from Vandenberg Space Force Base, CA!!

See y’all there!! https://youtube.com/live/A0qBRykRMYY?feature=share #space #aviation #space #rocketlaunch #vandenberg by @the.random.spotter
Even though I missed out on a Dreamlifter departure by less than 10 minutes (don’t get me started on why), and we couldn’t live stream because of periodic rain, it was still an incredible opportunity to see this airfield up close and personal. A huge thank you to the @boeing @futureofflight museum for allowing me to take in these sights and sounds from their amazing observation deck!! Highlight video(s) to come soon over on YouTube! Make sure you join us over there as well. https://youtube.com/@therandomspotter #boeing #futureofflight #pae #aviation #planespotting by @the.random.spotter
