Wow!  Those both turned out really awesome--actually up there with the best E-3 shots I've ever seen!

Thanks John & Scott. We had great light most of the day, although periodically a cloud would block the sun and we'd be cursing the temporary shadow. It was generally sooooo good when the AWACS made its final approach, I could have stuffed the camera in my backside and taken that photo. Having great light makes photography much easier for an old guy like me. Here are a couple of other images that show off the good conditions.
