It's a bit of work, but you can check

for planes heading to NUQ. The AN124s show up.
This trick works for any civilian flight to a military base if you
know the three letter abbreviation, i.e. NUQ for Moffet, SUU for
Travis, etc.

My old stomping grounds. Your C-141 looks like the old Kuiper infrared

chasing eclipses and such all over the word.

Does the NASA U-2 still take off every morning?

Only rarely, if something interesting is going on, like a major forest
fire.

It must be a lot quiter at the
golf course without the Orions coming in overhead.

I catch myself half-way expecting them to show up, having been off for
some vacation time.

Have to make up, a bit, by seeing the big Antonov in to haul some big
package.
