Nice set John.  I remember the F-100s flying out of Luke back in the early 60s.  There use to be a picnic ground on the northwest side of the base where you could go at watch the jets.  I remember the F-100s were so loud one could hardly stand it, but it was awesome to see and hear them take off and recover.  It may also have initially contributed to my significant loss of hearing :-)

I have fallen behind a little bit on processing and posting, but here is what is recent:

The HumVee would be a ton o' fun to drive around the grounds.  Always wanted one of those for a daily driver to the office.

It does actually ride very nicely--lots of coil spring.  I was a bit surprised as I was expecting a much harder ride.
