Had a four-ship of TAV-8Bs from VMAT-203 pass through for gas yesterday on their way out to Yuma.  First time I've actually caught the two-seaters.  Wish the weather was a bit more cooperative.

Awesome shots Joe, even if the weather wasn't cooperating!

Why is it that there are always dark clouds over Gateway when something really unique arrives???
Nice Joe.

I KNOW!  Isn't it frustrating?  Got some well-lit static shots later on when one of the pilots took us out just prior to departure.  And even though the light was good when they left, it was hard to get taxi shots of them since the ramp was packed with about ten T-38s, four Harriers from -211, and a T-45.

Hopefully they'll come back through on their way home.

That's a beautiful shot. I wonder if it might look better if the bottom was cropped up to the concrete.

Agreed.  A little dodging on the Harrier as well and this would be (even more) stunning!
