A Royal Saudi pilot gives a wave to the photogs at Nellis during Red Flag 10-4 media day.

This is what he was doing while waving:

I believe this is an F-15SG, Republic of Singapore 428th FS "Buccaneers" based at Mountain Home.
I've had F-15's flying over the house since last week, but haven't had the chance to get out to Luke and have a look. I couldn't stand it any longer today, and despite a late start, I grabbed my bag and gave it a try.
Not a great shot by any means, but not to bad considering how little light was left at the time.

[Daniel DeSart]

Not a bad shot, not a bad shot at all.

If it was me, my camera would have found a way to blur the crap out of it.

Nice. Strike Eagle with a Sniper pod and covered burner cans on GE F110 engines.

Thanks for the encouraging words! Believe me, I blurred plenty of them but I was able to get a few keepers.
I went back out a day later and was able to get there earlier, but it seems as though the F-15's are flying later in the day and into the night. Had to crank the ISO again, but was happy to grab what I could given the rarity of Eagles at Luke anymore.

Thanks Chris!
