Very cool catch on the leaky Herk, Matt!

Ned, that Hawks shot is amazing.  Hopefully I'll be able to FINALLY catch a -533 bird this cycle.

Thank you, sir!

Excellent shots, Keith!  It was good to spend the morning with you out there last week.

Nice shot, Ned!  I didn't get a single Prowler while I was down there.

Nice Picture Ned..

Just a reminder for anyone (including foreign visitors to the site) heading to Yuma to photograph aircraft participating in the current WTI - when shooting from off-base, keep your lenses above the fenceline.  Not that there's really anything worth shooting through the road traffic and the fence and the heat-haze anyway, the MPs just don't like it when they think people are scoping out their flightline.  Stick to photographing aircraft in the air and try to keep any portions of the installation out of your shots.

Well, for all the talk of the NEO exercise being tricky to shoot at Kiwanis because of the light angle and trees and access to the park and the south-to-north approach and all that, it looks like it was a fairly awesome shooting opportunity, as the traffic flowed from north to south this time.
