Thank you Jeff, it was a cool aircraft for being a static display in front of the Test Pilot School.

Very cool shot of the HU-16 Joe, what a neat shot to catch in the high desert.

Thanks, Harvey.  I just loved how Edwards is where all this cutting-edge technology and all these fifth-generation fighters are tested, and the first two aircraft we saw out there were the Albatross departing and a MiG-15 landing.
