Joe K, those are some awesome F-15 shots! I guess what they say is true... location, location, location!
Thank you Matt, you still got some great photos even if they were from LV blvd. I only hope we all can attend the next Red Flag on base we would have a great time. I need to plan better ,you know with all my gear and stuff. LOL.

Maybe you could hire a cargo service to get all your camera bags/gear out there a few days before you arrive. I think that would work best for somebody with 5 camera bodies and no clean... ;)
One of only 2 F-15's I've ever seen out at Willie, except during airshows.

F-15C during Heritage Flight training at Davis-Monthan AFB (3/7/2009).
F-15Cs from the 33rd FW Eglin AFB, FL on final to be received at the 309th AMARG. These were all shot from "the guardrail" site.

James,
Nice catch on those F-15's from FL. Seems the guardrail location is quite the lucky spot!

Spectacular image. Well done, Chris.
Chris, that Rockford shot is blowing my mind.

For as many F-15 shots as I've seen, I don't think I've seen one with the gear in this position. Nice work.
Thanks Joe, you'll see more. I'm a sucker for landing-gear-in-transition shots and I took a couple that day. ;)

If anything's going to make a vap-trail a Mud Hen's pretty close to a sure thing. Nice shot, composition works well for me.
Thanks James.
This is a pretty significant crop from the original - he was really up there. Really not a whole lot of thought put into this shot, pretty much just "OOOH VAPES! - snapsnapsnapsnapsnap." That said, I'm pleased with how it came out.

Hey Bill, I think you mean F-15 right?
Thanks David. Actually it was a typo I do know the difference, sometimes. :-[
Today out at Luke this is one of many shots I got. Hanging out with Matt. And finally Joe K brought a little water.
390th Fighter Squadron (390 FS) "Wild Boars"
Launching from Luke AFB in support of WTI 2-10.
Nice shot Matt. I saw them flying over my house but didn't get there before they all recovered. I got the Vipers that came in at sunset, but those images were poor quality because the light was low and they weren't letting any grass grow on their approach...no break, just straight in and land. Joe got several good shots but he was already there and set up. I finally got a big lense (Sigma 150-500). What a gem, but takes some practice to pan correctly.

40th FLTS F-15E parked at the FBO in Yuma last May...
I believe this is an F-15SG, Republic of Singapore 428th FS "Buccaneers" based at Mountain Home.
I've had F-15's flying over the house since last week, but haven't had the chance to get out to Luke and have a look. I couldn't stand it any longer today, and despite a late start, I grabbed my bag and gave it a try.
Not a great shot by any means, but not to bad considering how little light was left at the time.
(http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o276/azsnakeman/aviation/003a-1.jpg)
Not a bad shot, not a bad shot at all.
If it was me, my camera would have found a way to blur the crap out of it. :P
Nice. Strike Eagle with a Sniper pod and covered burner cans on GE F110 engines.
Thanks for the encouraging words! Believe me, I blurred plenty of them but I was able to get a few keepers.
I went back out a day later and was able to get there earlier, but it seems as though the F-15's are flying later in the day and into the night. Had to crank the ISO again, but was happy to grab what I could given the rarity of Eagles at Luke anymore.

Caught two Bayou Militia F-15s returning to JRB New Orleans on a recent business trip out there. Found an outstanding location to shoot from, if only the weather had cooperated. These birds were armed with live missiles, and were returning from a patrol flight along the Gulf Coast.

Nice shot Chris!
I was driving by Luke on my home at about 3:30pm this afternoon and saw this one, or another just like it taking off. Of course I didn't have my camera with me. :(
...very nice work!
Nice shot Chris,
I was wondering how come you didn't post the the Splinter scheme bird , but then I just saw it in the Luke thread!

Venting a little fuel
Where is it venting it from? I was under the impression that the fuel dump vent was located closer to the right wing tip, past the aileron.
It appears to be coming from the right wing tank. The F15 that departed just ahead of this one was venting some fuel and it got in the afterburner plume and made a large quick burst of orange flame, not all that unusual.

Thanks for the clarification. Cheers..

Very nice, Jay.
What were you shooting with body-wise back then?
EXIF should be intact but IIRC, it shoud be either my 1DMkIII or 40D.
Lens was 300mm f/2.8 L w/ or w/out TCs.
One of my favorite Eagle takeoffs from a late afternoon back in 2006.

Thanks Harvey, it's one off my alltime favourites.. Redoing the slide scan and doing some editing really boost the outcome..

Better shots of the color birds.
Nice shots! Looks like they were using 21. Would much rather get photos of them landing on 21 than on 03...

Hello everyone! After a long hiatus I am back. I hope you all are doing well.
In 1991, During Operation Desert Storm, this aircraft (89-0487) was credited with downing an Iraqi Mil Mi-24 Hind helicopter in the air using a GBU-10 laser-guided bomb. In 2012, this aircraft became the first F-15 of any type to log over 10,000 hours.
This was shot with a Nikon 200-500mm zoom, at 500mm on a crop sensor. Fortunately this was the first aircraft in the group to launch as the other aircraft turned out looking like jello.
