Very nice Joe! You even got the jamming pod's RAT props spinning! I did as well, but accidentally...

Thanks Mike!  Really had no choice.  At ISO3200 and f/5.6, I got 1/125th, which easily blurs the RAT spinners. 

Oh to have gotten this beauty at sunset 20 minutes earlier . . .

Interesting... Same shot at midfield - ISO 2000, 250mm, f/5.0, 1/80 (their departure surprised me - left on shutter priority for KC-130 props refueling overhead) - will process and share later

Thanks Matt!  These Hueys were the last birds out, so stoked to have caught them at night.

Great shot Joe, great light and the angle doesn't show the houses and cars that usually surround that LZ.
