Its just a darned shame that you guys were forced to take that loud old F-4 out to do the photography from, how you DO suffer for your art-the airplane looks great all cleaned up and zipping along
Good job !!! :prayer: :supz: :supz: :drink3:

Very Cool! Note the shadows of the pair in the Best Buy parking lot! I never seem to be in the right Best Buy parking lot at the right time!!!! That bird is awfully clean to be with the Marines, does it make up for it by bleeding fluids all over the hangar? :wink:

Congrats to all for a job well done!

Neat! I saw a Skyhawk flying just yesterday, too! We also have two at the hangar where I work!

Wish they were as pretty (and fast) as that one.

Unfortunately, Zane, no camera in the Scooter. We tried to rectify that on the second flight but no go. We didn't have a lot of time on the second flight because we were actually launching the F4 for its Thunder arrival and they still had 1000 nm to go.

I keep telling him I can bring my camera instead of tools when I show up, but he never seems to listen :D :wink:
