How about one of the most unique, awesome paint jobs on a fighter, that is if you can see it.

Agreed.  That's one of the best shots of the MARPAT camo bird I've seen.

Joe,

Very nice shot of the Texas Falcon.  

I seem to remember standing right beside you, seeing that exact same view, but I can't find any photos of it on my camera.  They made four awesome flybys, and I didn't get one shot.   What the heck.   

Good thing I have a photographic memory, but I can't print those out at the photolab.

Thanks Bill. 

Don't feel too bad.  On the bright side, you avoided the frustration of going through hundreds of poorly-lit photos trying to find one or two that were remotely salvageable.
