Some nice shots from angles we do not often get to see.
As for quality, they are fine. I would rather see a picture from this sort of subject that was not perfect than nothing at all.

Thanks to everyone for the replys.

But the inside of a military aircraft, if you know what I'm talking about is very LOUD. There is no insulation or sound dampening material like in a commercial aircraft. Imagine if you've ever been in a Cessna, that like times 10.

I think I have a few other picture I've taken on base. I'll try to post as many of the U// pictures I have.

I might have a few pictures of ordinance, 500lb JDAM, AMRAAM, and the new AIM-9X. But I think I should ask someone if I can before I post them haha.

Quality of picture is just fine, first hand photos with a camera that doesnt cost an arm and a leg are sometimes better for shots than an expensive, professionally done shot, gives the pic some personality!

And I know what you mean about the sound, military aircraft aren't built for comfort, basically you are just cargo, it's cold, loud and uncomfortable, and I wouldnt trade it for a first class ticket on an A380!!!!

Worst trip of my life............Goose Bay, to Germany in the back of a C130. 14 hours of droning vibration. I though it would never end.

I can believe it... spent 20 minutes in a B-17 once, and although I was having a ball, I can see how several hours might diminish the novelty a little. Cheesy

One of the old-timers aboard for that flight told me it reminded him of the time he shipped home from Europe in WWII aboard a C-47... said the cold was worse than the noise. Grin
