Thanks to all of you that made the trek to the desert yesterday! We had a blast and hope you did too. Joe - great shot. Can't wait to see what everyone got.
That's solidly outside the box Joe!
Well Seen!

Thanks and thanks! For most of us, it was a trek from one desert to another, through yet another desert.
Thanks again for hosting us and for timing this one to coincide with an amazing amount of pretty varied activity.

Ha! Yes. Dirty shirt, and a hole in the right knee of my jeans. Just like Chachi.

Morning shot from the canal road on the west end of the base. I got there about 8:30 AM Wednesday morning and joined Ned, Walt, Matt, and about 30 of their best friends to shoot departures. It is a fun way to spend the morning before we gather to access the base.

Just to add to what Michelle said, Captain Holcomb approached us at the end of the day looking for shots of both jets launching down the runway as they were to only two F/18's to do so simultaneously that day. So if anyone got them both in one frame that would be cool unfortunately I didn't. I am sure they would appreciate any other shots also though.

Quote from: Jeff Welker on November 05, 2012, 07:54:33 AM
^^^^ Really like this image Chris. The discolored exhaust adds a very nice touch IMO.
One final word on my photoshop. For good reason, Michelle is very particular about making sure all shooters know that crossing the white line (even by a frog's hair) is verboten! Since it is a exceptional privilege to enjoy this type of access, I'm sensitive to her directives. While there is nothing to be gained photographically, some folks just can't seem to comply. Every time I try to get a good shot of the group working the line, I inevitably get at least one nerd in violation. Gratefully, I did not find any violators from our crew - another display of AzAP discipline and professionalism.
Because I've refused to publicize images of shooters that can't seem to comply with the simplest of Michelle's rules, I rarely get to post this type of image. In frustration I've decided to take another approach. Every time I find an image with an offender, he/she is going to loose a limb. It is my way of dishing out visual punishment. It is also a fun opportunity to fine-tune my cloning skills ;D
For what it's worth, I'm normally an eagle-eyed white-line nazi, and the only line incursion I saw on this trip was a woman from a local photography club who was half-sitting/half-laying down on the line, but she was told to move pretty quickly, and she was a good sport about it. In terms of line discipline, I think this was one of the best trips we (us, APSoCal, and Fencecheck) have had out there. This was PHXSpotters' first trip out there, and while I don't think the "Dude, I just got excited" excuse makes it okay, I remember my first time out there and can certainly relate to that frame of mind. It's a lot to process, and for a first-timer, can be a bit of a sensory overload, which is why it's good to have so many experienced shooters out there to help out the new guys.
Since being caught in the act of having a toe over the line by Ned a few trips back, I've made it a point to incorporate a toe-check every time I get ready to shoot out there. Camera on? Check. Ear protection? Check. Proper settings? Check. Toes behind the line? Check. Simple as that. 2-3 seconds to account for all of those. Start doing it every time and you're good to go, and you'll be able to self-correct before anyone taps you on the shoulder suggesting you step back an inch or two, or decides to saw your leg off via Photoshop.

Joe - the late afternoon launch of that pair of Silver Eagles (which included this one) were my favorite photo ops of the trip. They had a world of pain under each wing and rolled into the best golden light of the day. Catching the full AB and jello air so well is the cherry on top. Great image ;D

Being kind of an ordnance geek, this last trip was heaven for me. Unguided rockets seem to have fallen out of common use with the exception of units tasked with Forward Air Control, so seeing a VMFA-115 bird (not a FAC-tasked squadron) carrying two pods of 5" Zuni rockets was a very rare sight. Wish I would have been there in the morning to catch the early departures with the napalm and the CBUs, but catching all the aircraft with rocket pods in that golden light more than made up for it.

(maybe they have learning disabilities or were abused as children).
I think that what did it for me was slipping on a wet floor and sliding on it until my head hit a wall, I was 9 when that happened and a few things have been fuzzy ever since.
Joe,
I love that photo with the rocket pod. I don't think I've ever seen pods on anything other than an A-10 or an IA58, it adds a nice touch to the planes.
Just wanted you guys to know that the images here are VERY impressive. Looks like you guys got some great shots!

Love that black & white Jeff!!
Thanks Chris, I think it looks much better than the color version. You should never encourage a monochrome addict like me ;D

Joe, check out the position of the left main tire on your post and compare it to my shot of the same aircraft on page 6. That's what I call split-second timing! We were obviously in different spots along the runway.

Love that Prowler shot Andy! The nose high attitude is unreal. Reminds me of how the F7U-3 Cutlass looked when it landed.
