Nice catch Harvey! I just assumed that back seater was saluting your new glass!

Thank you Bill, if he had time to notice me, he better start paying attention to what's happening in the jet.

Nice and green!  Is that the hill south of the base?

[Tower Guy]

It is about as green as it ever gets Scott. This was shot from the guardrail on the corner of Alsup looking south across the approach end runway 03L.

Outstanding work Harvey. I really like how the second Viper's canopy is nearly as clear and razor-sharp as the first Viper. The mirage effect adds a beautiful background. Well done sir.

[Tower Guy]

Thank you Jeff,I was amazed that the second canopy was as clear as it was also, that inspired me to make a tight crop to show the neat background. Thanks again.

Nice catch on the Extenders Harvey. I love the DC-10/MD-11 platform and these are terrific photographs of the big girls. I am especially fond of the landing image; very nice.
