James, both very nice catches. Definitely would be cool to see the Flying Wing in the air. Envious indeed. Nice shots.

Thank you Sir. Will be nice to look at them on my home system instead of the hotel room make-do-dirty-work laptop.

Is that you in the rear seat taking a photo on the pass like at Coolidge?

F-15E 90-232 assigned to the Demo Team, Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, North Carolina.
PILOT: Major Mike "Cash" Maeder
WSO: Captain Steven "Buda" Bofferding

The 'ghostly' F-15E put on an outstanding show both Saturday and Sunday at Chino.
Speed, excellent airmanship, and lots of NOISE!

Demo: Saturday and Sunday, Chino Air Show, Chino, California

Pic #1 Max climb with aileron rolls. First time I have seen a snowball on the bottom of an F-15

Pic#2 F-15E at top of his max climb, about 20,000', HI AOA, swapping sends for his descent
I wish I had a few more mm for this shot than the 100-400mm gave me

The airplane is relatively small making it appear to be flying faster than it is.
Flying at Chino on the "circuit" it looked like a pylon racer, each pass a carbon
copy of the previous. Enjoyable to watch.
