I didn't get really great pics, but such as they are, they're up on the Mojave Skies blog.

Thanks, it was nice to be there for the Stealth Sunset back in April.  If anyone goes, get some shots, it your"last chance" to see the Stealth fly.  :(

Would be fun to go but too much work to do :'( :'(

Zoom to 400mm should do fine. That way you'll get it coming off the runway, then pull back as it comes overhead.

Alan
Thank you Alan. 
I'm currently working with a 300mm, you think that should be good enough or not?

The traditional spotting/shooting spot is a dirt lot on the northwest corner of Ave N and Sierra Hwy.
