I hate that sentence "for the last time" we are loosing to many aircraft. It would be great if the US could keep all of them in flying condition and we could see them at airshows. "Just dreaming" ::) I guess I will have to visit them at the Museum :)
Great photos ;)

Trying out the new D60 yesterday, had to find something to shoot, so grabbed a shot of this one at Boeing Plaza, Lancaster
What do you think of the D60 ?........I LOVE my 40X......
On sunny days set it to .7-1.0 negative comp.
Well, I've had it all of about 27 hours now, and so far I love it. I found out about the neg comp that you mentioned as well, when I washed out several of the NTPS BO-105 pics I shot (see the Mojave thread). Any other tips/tricks would be appreciated!
The only other thing at the top of my head is you can go into a hanger and set it to ISO 400 and the quality is SUPERB......i don`t see any noise like i do with the D70. Feel free to use ISO 400 when ever you feel it necessary.
Also set the colors to double vivid , its spectacular.....and don`t use automatic , it will overexpose on sunny days.
The cameras a bit small but is so light with the 55-200VR lens ....it can hang around my neck for hours without ever bothering me.....and the lens kicks ass.
I really LOVE the camera , it makes pcis as good as anything the D300 does.......we`ll see about the 3 focus points during air-to-air , but so far so good.

Firehawks pics appear to be at least 35-40 years old as in the 3rd pic down the BUNO153783 Black Phantom. There is on the right of the photo, a NC-5 Mobile Electric Power Vehicle. Those were taken out of service in the earily 1970"s as they were powered by a old 312 Ford V-8 (from the 1950's) engine and had a 4 speed manual shift tranny. When ever one was used to service an aircraft an operator had to be sitting in the operators seat at all times as they were notorous for viberating into second gear and rolling away from an aircraft and crashing into anything in the way. the NC-5 were replaced with an NC-8 that was powered by a 4 cylinder Detroit Diesel engine that powered a generator that drove the rear wheels. Directional drive was controled by two electrical switches on the control panel. The NC-5's were cabable of at least 30MPH in 4th gear. The NC-8 top speed was just 8 MPH.
WOW great photos Mark!
I guess they really love to reverse their pictures. :p
