That is nice work Matt. I plan on going to watch the Angels tomorrow. Watch? I might take a camera too!

Thank you!  I'm pretty sure you'll have your camera with you, but don't forget to take some time to watch too.

Thank you, Vance!

You are very welcome.  Your photos inspire me to try and be better with my own photographs.  I've got a long way to go.

Thanks, Vance, I feel like I have a long way to go too!  I guess we'll make this journey together, along with anyone else that wants to come with us.

I went to NAF EL Centro yesterday. There was a visit and ride along with a couple Thunderbirds. Some are really big crops, apologies for low quality.

Beautiful shots Lynn.

Thanks Brian. I met Mike in El Centro. He has video from most of  if not every practice in El Centro the last two winters. This link is for his posts on Youtube. They are large files.
