Here are some randoms from this weekend. Sorry about the quality but I really had to reduce them to make them all fit Grin

.

Big brother watching little brothers back over Death Valley

Patrolling the Miami coastline...

What could have been over the skies of Pensacola and the Gulf...

Love the detailing on the canopy glass...

Thanks for looking!

Looks good to me Cool

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Great pictures. Not to be a plane geek, but the Navy doesnt have VMFA squadrons (the M designates it as a Marine Corps squadron). so VFA would be more accurate, Im just saying. I like the second to last the best, beautiful picture.
