I really like the light on this one Dave. Was that on their taxi to the west EOR? It almost looks like 'head-on' sunset light is hitting the front of the fuselage and props. Again, very nice.

Jeff,

He was on the taxiway parallel to the runway, headed to that west EOR. This is the same taxiway that is in your shot of the KC-10 . When the C-2 did his full stops, I ran over to the south boundary of our 'photog box' and grabbed some frames as he was headed west.

I do like the 'sun in his face' illumination.

On our way out of the gate that evening, Matt pointed out how the H-60s that showed up were from HSC-3 at North Island, and their squadron name is the "Merlins." Pretty funny, given that the only aircraft we had really shot up to that point were the Danish Merlins (and a single H-53).

Surreal! It's so nice to see an image that's not a standard tight crop. This one looks almost looks like it was taken from a mountain top or air to air. Another Welker classic. Soothing to the eye.

Thanks Scott. It's fun to deviate from the norm on occasion. You probably shouldn't encourage me ;D
