Thanks Joe. Frankly, I struggle finding ways to make "purty" images of aluminum pipes. That being said, these two turned out better than I originally imagined.

Got a little time at Willie late this afternoon and caught some interesting comings and goings. Light was good and there were these wierd looking white fluffy objects in the sky. I did not know what they were; however, Jack told me they are called clouds

VMAT-203 passing through Willie.  The flag was a gift from someone out at Fort Smith.

Wonderful image Joe. I really like the crop and how you captured the pilot's smile.

Sweet shot Jeff.  Love the dead-nuts nose-on angle.
