Good stuff! Judging by your Raptor shot (I took that too) you were probably on the same tram I was. One of the last people out. Haha.

This one was very cool to see, honoring a very recent loss to our nation (only 4 weeks ago, killed in the terrorist assault on Camp Bastion that also destroyed six Harriers and heavily damaged two. An enlisted Marine was also killed on the flightline).

This guy came in WAY too hot and almost ran over his flight lead that landed ahead of him. Watching him hard on the brakes and full MIL on the reversers was one of the early pieces of entertainment of the morning.

Thanks a bunch to the PAO at Miramar for the great opportunity to shoot from the opposite of the runway.  I've been going to this show for 25+ years now, and this was the best by far!!  here are a few of the F-22 Demo.
