Very nice shots Vance, one and all. I'm glad we did that shoot when we did. We have a new Boss and he isn't big on photographing his jets from on base. I had the Security Police explain the new policy to me when I was shooting at the base of the tower. They made me dump the photos I shot and wrote an incident report on me. I'm very careful even when shooting from my back porch.

Didn't anyone tell this guy to never light your farts?

Great shot Joe. What's the story behind it?

Very cool shot Joe. To catch a flare being released is pretty rare.

Amazing shot!

Thanks Harvey. I am sorry to hear that and equally sorry that you had to dump your photos (the ones from that shoot

). Do you think the new tenants that you let me know about have something to do with the no photo ruling? I wouldn't at all be surprised if it were so. Thanks again. Your hospitality was very much appreciated.

Thanks Scott! This was shot a few weeks back during that Centre of Aviation Photography assignment with the Dutch Air Force out of Tucson International. We were in a Skyvan and had two Dutch F-16s behind us and two Dutch F-35s from Edwards in on the action as well, but they were always in the #3 and #4 slots. I'm only allowed to release a few shots now, so as not to preempt another author's Dutch F-16 feature slated for publication in Combat Aircraft next spring.
