First stop Biggs Tx. Depature from Edwards at 11am Eastern.
Anyone in that area, with a camera and an understanding boss? 
New member here, thanks to Google. I am mobilized on active duty from the Wisconsin National Guard, and work at Biggs not far from the flight line. Not sure what I'll be able to get, but I know that I can at least get to the runway perimeter fence.
Thanks for all the info posted here. Big help! I have an appointment from 1100-1200 local, so hopefully the takeoff won't be until after noon. Make sure it gets posted here when you have the info.

"The duo will head to Biggs, Texas, before taking in the Air Force bases of Dyess, Texas, or Altus, Oklahoma - based on current information. This will be updated based on local weather." - article going on site in a minute or so.

No coverage on media channel, unfortunately.
But there should follow a F-18 for photo chasing, sol lets hope for some nice pictures in the next days.
Edit: Replaced the (old) image with one actually taken during this ferry flight. (

Can't tell from the flightaware site if SCA will overfly Tucson. I have a buddy there. If one draws a straight line between origin and destination, it would seem to be a bit north of Tucson. Anybody have any more information on the PATH of the aircraft?
