Thank you very much Bill, I enjoyed shooting our squadron photo for the last two years.

Catching up on my review of recent posts. The F-35 really does look imposing behind those F-16s. Great shot!

Thank you Scott, right place right time, I saw them taxiing and I thought if the aviation gods were on my side, this may develop into a decent shot. I was blessed.  ;D

Love the F106 shot Scott, the last one I remember seeing on the Luke ramp may have been this one. I remember these California guys would drop in on a semi regular basis for a couple of years and then they were gone. I feel very fortunate to have worked here while the German F104s were still flying, what a great sound and visual treat. I'm truly glad I am old enough to have experienced the older aircraft that were soon to fly into the sunset. When I was a young controller I worked F-100s, F-101 Vodoos, F-111s, F-102s, F-106s, and there were plenty of aircraft that still had those propeller things.

Pics or it didn't happen.   ;D

Love that -106 shot, Scott.  The Air Guard used to be so much more photogenic back then.

Joe, one of my Xmas gifts from my daughter will be having 138 slides digitized. They will include a couple of Tomcats on a fast initial with wings retracted, B-57 Weather birds in Panama (long wings), a Tri-motor C-47 "turbo prop" on skies, I've never seen another like it when I was in Greenland. I intend to "put up", I said UP, not out.  ;) ;D

So it's a good news/good news situation.  Excellent. 

And looking forward to the WB-57 shots.  One of my favorite variants of one of my favorite aircraft.

Can't wait to see those Harvey!  Thanks Jeff, Harvey, and Joe in regard to the F-106. I hope to have some time over the holidays to scan some more.
