And we had some jet action!

The Marines have a great way to display the flag, and a shot of an Osprey

It was fun to finally meet a couple of our members, Bill Word and Barry Colingsworth. The wind didn;t help me trying to get good prop blur with the big lens, but I got a few that are not terrible.

Nice pics!
Looks like you guys had much better skies/light than we did last weekend at Luke.

Nice images from what I thought was a pretty good day.

The Yuma Open House was another nice show. Not quite as big as some of the other base shows around us, but well done overall.

It was good to meet you Lynn. I was just too tired to go out to eat, maybe next time. I hope my photos come out just half as good as yours. I have over 2000 to go through the next several day, my delete finger will be very tired.

By the way John, Lynn's photos were on Friday. Saturday was a much better day.

Bill that's a pair of good photos you started with. You are correct, Saturday was beautiful. I am looking forward to you posting more from Yuma. Your work is first class.

Despite the free dermabrasion courtesy of the wind and the Osprey Yuma was a great time.

I was surprised they put the Ospreys down in front of us as close as they did. (But not necessarily against it, though!)
