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:

weird neighbor's home

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

Very sweet pics, blue angels.

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.

//off topic-ish
While i was working at my squadron here in sand diego, we housed for the weekend some Canadian helo's which were pretty damn crazy, but the best part about it i would have to say is there "sign" or "symbol" and its pretty much basic hippie-ness with a pot leaf(instead of the maple leaf) and peace sign, was surprised they could get away with it. The japanese have some pretty cool helo's to they are like peal white with a clear coat, oh so easy to clean. they just hose it down and call it a day.

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, 02:11 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.
