Did you find any skid marks on your lens hood?   ;D  Nice shot Joe.  I thought I might see your reflection on the belly of this bird.

You don't concentrate on risks. You concentrate on results. No risk is too great to prevent the necessary job from getting done.

Nice catch Bill, I see you finally got it! Amazing how many nose cones have been on this over the years.

James, this is certainly not your typical nose configuration.  Is this a radar or instrument test bird?  Do you know what's underneath?

My guess is missile system sensors of some sort considering the client. Lots of different things being worked on over at Raytheon.

With a little help from Mother Nature, even the most mundane flying Tylenol can look a little dramatic...

Thanks...  The clouds were something I had been dragging around in my truck for a couple weeks so I'm glad I finally found a use for them...    ;)

Glad you caught that bird Paul.  I went to Willie to catch it leaving, but it left late and I couldn't stick around.  I did catch an A-4 leaving, which I'll take over a Mad Dog (or pretty much anything else) any day.

Here's a shot of one of the most boring airplanes in the world.
