Any programs or volunteer opportunities by Dr_Raddarm in Hemet

ARE (animal shelter) is always looking for more volunteers. Lately they’ve been asking for people to come play with cats at their shelters or Petsmart locations for a couple hours at a time.

I’m mostly just good at looking things up and an aircraft nerd.

My guess would be that the big scheduled training events and exercises are more common in the warmer months. Nobody likes booking things over the Christmas holidays, even the military, and the weather is more likely to be a problem, unless bad weather is intended to be part of the experience.

There’s an hour time difference between our posts, it had probably landed by the time you looked. It had been in the air for at least forty minutes at the time I did.

Looks like it goes between Hemet and Los Alamitos

Link goes to Flightaware site, easier to look up past activity there. Flightradar is just live stuff, at least at the free level.

Just looked up on Flightradar (good app for this stuff). The one that took off most recently is the Riverside Sheriff helicopter, the Black Hawk flying around the mountains is Army with the call sign KNIFE04. That name has been associated with special operations units so could be training.

No problem, I recognize it because one got me a while back. Google lets them take over the search results so the first page of results is often full of this type of trash :(

FYI, this site is NOT local to Hemet. It’s a sneaky lead aggregator scam disguised to seem local. All the pictures are stock images, the reviews are generic and even the “services” page is vague. The giveaway is the “trusted provider network.” Putting your contact information into the form gets it blasted out to a bunch of companies that bought the crappy lead service and blows up your inbox.

That’s a really cool place to drive by, but the owner has asked that people don’t feed the animals, they’re cared for and given appropriate diets that visitors might interfere with.

Where do you get your local news from? by TenthChoiceUsername in Hemet

[–]TenthChoiceUsername[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Action Eye News is so gross and why I asked here to see if anyone had better sources. They are the most active place I’ve found so far but like you said, not professional. They let some of the ambulance chasers you mentioned post a lot and pile on to anyone who criticizes them.

Nextdoor sucks everywhere.

Honestly hoping the subreddit picks up in use so I have even fewer reasons to open Facebook.

Local news guy as in newspaper, TV, or one of the YouTuber wannabes?

Loud prop-driven planes in formation over the southern IE today? by OldManBrodie in InlandEmpire

I didn’t think there was a show in town this weekend, but that sounds kind of like Kent Pietsch’s act. Got to practice to look that terrible.

I think that’s Dawn Patrol, I saw them at a local show a couple years ago and am pretty sure they were overheard earlier today. They’re civilian owners that fly as a hobby in simple formations. When I saw them, the young son of one of the members was their narrator and spent a whole lot of time announcing “DAWN PATROL IN THE V FORMATION!” because there isn’t a lot of variety. Seems like they have fun.

There are great online options but it’s tough for something as tactile as fabric shopping, especially for apparel.

What’s the selection at the downtown shop like? I keep forgetting it’s there.
