After the hot day yesterday, today was even worse.... Less wind and also less sun meant some relief, but when the cloudcover finally broke open, it became real hot real fast....

A normal weekend day.... Loads of visits to the GA platform and the regular amount of airliners made this a fairly good Saturday. One visit was nice, a Department of Homeland Security P-3B.... Nice transport for a weekend holiday....

Sunday, a day of peace and quiet, and rest.... Well.... not quiet.... It was a busy day at Reina Beatrix. Lots of bizz traffic and a nice amount of the regular airliners. A nice day to pass the time at the airport.

My observations about the Homeland Security P-3B seem to have been a bit premature, as it is still around and flying missions.... Maybe a short deployment to the southern Caribbean? Compared to the weekend, today was quiet.... There were some movements, but it seemed not as much as the two days before....

Today I was approached by an Airport Security officer, who started talking to me about me photographing aircraft and of course the Americans.... He mentioned something about a FOL, so I think we can safely say, the Orion is on a deployment....
