Well done Jeff. A very unique tribute and a great photo to boot!

An iconic image!  Superb composition. I've never seen those aircraft shelters look so good!

Caught him on departure Harvey, glad I didn't leave a few minutes earlier!

Bill, I'm glad you were there to catch the F-35, this aircraft flew past Luke and decided that fuel to his destination was questionable so they came back for fuel.

Harvey, glad he decided to drop in. I was out there for the F-15's, this was quite a surprise!
Saw the KC-135 come in too.

Can't afford to get any dings on that baby.  Looks great from that angle!

[Tower Guy]

You know Scott, It really does seem to have a good position and a bad position when it comes to having its picture taken.

THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME

^^^^ Well, that doesn't suck 

Some serious whup arse hanging under the wings of that Harrier. While the Lighting is destined to replace it, I believe the Harriers will continue to serve this country very well. Gorgeous image Joe.
