Saw both Japanese F-35s again today, this time against a perfectly clear sky.

"PACK 93 Heavy" shot several touch and go's at Luke today. Very happy I went out there...

Terrific image Jonathan.  I love the point of view you've chosen.  Well done young man.

Harvey like I said on flicker last night. Holy cow this shot brings the cow home. Phenomenal capture. You'd think that with type of photographs you regularly produce from Luke they'd allow you of all people to shoot as freely and as often as you'd like.

Thanks for the comment Ross, always appreciated. I need to go through Public Affairs and see if I can get put on their list as a contributor and make it a little easier to shoot again.

+1 what Ross said Harvey.  In addition, I love that the photo is partially backlit.  Adds wonderful highlights and dimensions to the image.  Of course, the vapor trails are darn nice too
