Nice variety in those last few shots Harvey!
Did I see a B-1B departing Luke to the west yesterday at 1400 hrs?

[Tower Guy]

Thank you Bill. You did see a B1B doing a low approach yesterday. I had just got home and I got a call from work telling me there was a B1 inbound. I headed back out the door and I missed it by about a mile.

Too bad you missed it, I was hoping someone was able to photograph it! I was driving eastbound on I-10 when I spotted it. Would've liked to get a better glance at it!

Harvey, your early morning and late evening "low light" images have always been extra special to me. This image is no exception. I especially like the pilot silhouetted in the canopy and how it reshapes the mountains in the background. Well done sir.

[Tower Guy]

Thank you Jeff, I enjoy the challenge of shooting low light and practice panning shots. I always appreciate your comments. Thanks again.
