Here is a couple shots of Marine Corps AV-8B Harriers any one who has been to EL Centro (to any sailor or marine having to operate from there like I have know it as EL Sweato) should have a few pics to share here.
2 at el centro, though in spring 2006...

I was sitting in my car and saw the four harriers coming in, so I grabbed the camera, put one foot out the car door and quickly aimed the camera straight up. I fired off 5 shots and nearly fell over backwards as they passed directly overhead! :)
Of those 5 shots, the first 2 were framed OK the last three were not so good, so they were deleted immediately!
Impressive.... <usmcflag>

Great shot David!!! It was nice to finally meet you at El Centro last Saturday. Had a great time!
Looks like you enjoyed yourself!

I had to make my first visit to Yuma, yesterday, after seeing your shots David! <thumbup>
Dam Jim, any openings at your work? Mine won't let me leave to get any shooting in :-[
LOL <laughing>

I spent some time with the Marines last week out of Yuma and over the Salton Sea. 107 on the ramp, and 54 at 13,000 ft.
