I think I see a parking spot over here to the right. We should be able to squeeze between the two F-16s. by Harvey Brugger, on Flickr

Nice one Harvey, hope to get down there soon, now that I am all moved and almost done unpacking.

Thank you John, let me know when you can make it to Luke and I can give you a heads up on the traffic for your visit.

Awesome images, Harvey!! Was the arresting cable for practice, or...?

[Tower Guy]

Hi Brian, this was a barrier certification that they do annually. The aircraft tries to engage the cable at about 100 knots.

Saw a couple of F-16's and a F-15 go over my house a couple time this afternoon flying together.
