I only had my playsport and not my D40 so the pics aren't that great, but we get the military guys passing through on our ramp.  Today we had 2 AH-1W (I think) and 1 AH-1Z Super Cobras out there.  This was the first Z model I've seen up close.  Cool choppers Smiley.  I have a video of them taking off but haven't had a chance to upload it to youtube.

On the ramp, the "Zulu" Cobra
...

The trio ready to depart, view from the hanger I didn't go out there for lift off.
...

The view just outside my office.

I've got a ton of crappy cell pics on my Blackberry of the AV-8s, T-34s, T-5, and F/A-18s.  One day I'll pick some good ones and post them.

Oh and here's an interesting bird we had last year Wink Anyone speak Russian?
...

And lastly, last year at IWA which is 5 minutes from my house my wife and I just so happened to be driving by when I saw a huge blue tail.  This was here for warm weather testing.  They also had the 747-8 there later on too, but I didn't get any pictures.
...

I love AZ, lots of cool stuff and an airport everywhere you throw a stone.


Thanks for looking!

Very cool, I have been in the Corps for 11 years now and have never seen the Zulu.  Been around plenty of Whiskey Cobras though.
