This time I took her out of Edwards for more of a shake down run.  Landings are fast and straight with almost no flare, it's easy to get under speed and lose it which I've heard about these.

Waiting for me to show up (love how you start the ground cart from their menu!)

Spiraling upward after take off

Punched the ABs and went vertical, but what comes up...

Must come down

Coming in for a landing

Thanks for looking  Smiley

Great shots, Mfaulisi.........looks like a winner of an airplane too Cool 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"

These shots are fantastic. You almost gave me the will to buy that T-38... fortunately, I really don't like this jet  Grin
