So I was sitting in my apartment...

... & heard a jet afterburners. I grabbed my camera & ran outside.

It wasn't a particularly good day for pictures, but whatever.

I would've had some really good direct flyovers, but my memory card was full. I had a backup, but I missed some cool ones.

few extras I got while waiting:

Something like that. Finally a benefit to living close to an air force base.

Which AFB?

Barksdale. There's an air show going on this weekend. I just watched an F16 do its thing.

Ah, I've been to Barksdale twice for... you know it, an air show.Though it was somewhat of a business trip I guess since I'm a maintainer on the E-3 AWACS.

Yep blue angels... I have forgotten about those guys...

Just took some pictures of the Royal Canadian Forces Snowbirds.

I didn't even know Canada had jets.

I get like a little kid for that kind of thing.

When I was young, I just KNEW I'd be a pilot when I grew up. Then I found out you had to go to war & **** & decided I wanted a job where people weren't shooting at me.

nogoodname · 05-09-2009, 03:11 PM

i do the same thing, run outside and look around while being blinded by the sun.....lol

I grabbed a cap this time.

The new pictures are loading. Hopefully I got something interesting.

I grew up a few miles from Langley AFB and these jets really are amazing. Watched the F-18s at a show and they are something else.

Pushing_Tin · 05-16-2009, 06:37 PM

I wonder why they didn't have the Thunderbirds at an AFB?
