Sunday Plane Pr0n, a little Train Pr0n and Such

Mojave to Stater Bros.............................
Cal City Boulevard from a four way stop.........................

After the market, I headed to the Mojave Air and Space Port..................................

At the entrance to the Airport are a Convair 990 Coronado and an F-4 Phantom II that is an empty shell. The Convair was used by NASA in flight research.

I couldn't get square due to the fence I was standing against.

The objects on the Convair's wing tips are lights to keep it visible at night.

Since Mojave is a rail junction and small yard, the obligatory train pics follow!!!!!!!!!!

There is a rolling UP merchandise train out there, trust me.

Wind Turbines everywhere and the signal for West Mojave

CP SP 380 Mojave

The thermometer in the car said it was 106...............................................................Yes, It was Hot!

Saturday in The Desert..................................

.................not to be confused with Saturday in The Park.............................................Cha Cha Cha!!!!!!!!!!!!
Enough of that, OK?
Seems that yours truly had to make a trip to the Stater Bros Market in Mojave and since there is that Mojave Spaceport place there, the Nikon D3000 came along for the ride.

I also got one shot with the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 of a Tesla charging at the Tesla Charging Station in the little shopping center in Mojave.
