Title: Some of My Favorites...
Post by: gfydad on October 27, 2010, 09:52:58 PM
Trying to keep occupied pending tomorrow's tests, I put together a collection of some of my favorite images (266 of them) and put them into a set on Flickr so as not to load up things here. Some I haven't posted before.

Enjoy!   :D

Here's the link...

Jim,
First of hope everything turns out good for you, and get well soon.  It's not the same without you out there.  

Second here is my favorite shot here (i also like the P-3 head on shot).  Where was this?  I wonder if he scraps more often then we know?

Sheesh... and Merlin had more practice than anyone in flying a solo spot.  <laughing>

Glad you like them guys.  :D

The Angels' Solo takeoff shot was from Sacramento. I was surprised not to see a few sparks.  ;)

Don't know when/if I'll ever get back to really shooting again. Tests took four hours today (they added an MRA which is like an MRI but for arteries and veins). From what I picked up from the conversations and images I saw, there are definitely some real shortfalls in my arteries in both lower legs.  :-\
Good news is that no rush call from my doc today so, no matter how serious it may or may not be, there is no pending emergency.

Good to hear Jim, keep on fighting the good fight.

Not that it matters Jim, but the one with the B-2 has the mockup of the 30K lb conventional GBU-57A/B Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) next to it.

Nukes are smaller than that these days.

Thanks Kevin, changed it. Still, that'd sure hurt like heck to get hit with!  :D

Indeed.

The B-2 will be able to carry TWO, one in each bay!
