Wow, today was definitely one of the best I've had in quite a while.
Also, this is my first time shooting military fighters, so please feel free to drop a suggestion or two about photographing these bad boys. I tip my hat to these pilots and it was an honor to shake hands with all of them. They have renewed my respect for them and what they have contributed to our country. This has been a truly unforgettable day and I only hope for plenty more. Thanks everyone for showing up to share this with me. Cheers!
Here are some photos to get this started....
All look great

%$#@#!! I can't believe I missed this!! Thanks to Keith and Chili for calling me and giving me the heads-up. Unfortunately, I was up in Mammoth over the weekend and didn't receive the messages until I returned.
Excellent shots, gentlemen.
I'll get that LGB F-18 shot someday.

It was nice to finally meet you guys. Here are some of my shots.

Some close up's of the pilots
Hey Kevin, it was a pleasure meeting you! Thank you for answering all my questions and I already admire your uncanning ability to make me want to spend more money on lenses. You better sleep with one eye open because I have my sights on that EF 600mm F/4L.....Uhhh, "Dream BIG, Duy!!!"
I love the close up shot of the pilot waving to us...some incredible detail. I think that's the same one from my first photo.

OK ILL EDIT THE ONES THAT I TOOK AND POST THEM..YESTERDAY MAN I WAS BEAT AND I DIDNT EDIT NADA BUT I WILL TODAY AND POST THEM...kEVIN IT WAS NICE MEETING YOU AND I OWE YOU A COLD ONE FOR LETTING ME USE YOUR TELECONVERTER..FERNANDO,DUY,KEITH ITS ALWAYS GOOD MEETING UP WITH YOU GUYS...OH AND DUY THANKS AGAIN FOR HOOKING ME UP WITH THAT SCREEN PROTECTOR..
You got it boss
If you end up not putting it on, let me do it next time for sure, because I have some brand new microfiber cloths to get all the grime and dirt off of the screen. I'm really nitpicky when it comes to that kind of stuff...my old cloth wasn't really cutting it. Yeah, this is probably the first time I've been so beat that I literally fell half asleep on the way home. My forehead and scalp were badly sunburned and it was a long and exhausting day. But it's always worth it, no doubt!
