Yep, ugly indeed.......here's some more from today. Two C-17s were out - 1st the Edwards bird, then a McChord a/c later in the day. One of the shuttle carriers was also up.

Thanks for the link! I've contacted A/C Illustrated to see if they might be interested in using one of the shots.

Excited about today's catch.....I have no idea what this is, but it's very interesting.  Has the Skunkworks logo on the tail, as well as "X-55A" on the side.  I think the N# is N80ZLM, can't quite read all of it.

Today's catch.......

Great catch!! What time of day did you shoot this at??  Do you think she'll be flying tomorrow?  I'll be going through that area and try to beg my husband to pull over and let me shoot if she's up and about.

Thanks, sorry I didn't see your msg earlier. If I remember right, I shot that in the early afternoon. Sofia seems to be flying a couple of times a week right now. Goes out for anywhere from 3 to 5 hours before coming back. Took off about 9am today, I went out there about 1 to try and catch it, but I never saw it return.

Nice shot, Jim!

Do my eyes deceive me, or is the mystery node under the F-22 pink?
