Nice catch!

Well, that's another set that rotated into Oakland on the KMNOA, and rotated out on the KOAMN for a nice little circle trip through the Bay Area.

Seems like 177 was in Oklahoma not long ago. It sure gets around!

Nice shots and nice catch.

Glad to see it made it out there. I saw it in the dark at Gorham, IL last weekend.
