Alan, can you give me the times for the fly in? im going to try and see if i can make it...also if its ok with you e-mail me with your contact info maybe i can meet up with you..
10am to 2 pm - I'll be easy to find, as I'm slated to be driving the shuttle tram (we take you from the flightline to the T-hangar displays). Also, anyone at the museum table can point me out to you.

Redemption! I got the camera set back right in time for the B-2's return, although I didn't make it over to the notch where Jim was in time for his landing. Jim is right...it was an awesome day with some amazing variety. Anyone know the story on the white F-18?

This was the well-armed F-16 chase for the B-2, came right over me where I was on 50th east between M and N.

A lot of NG shuttles were in and out...we were wondering if it had anything to do with the fact that the crash trucks were surrounding the B-2 as it sat for a while on the taxiway after landing...maybe some "go" teams scrambling up here? Anyway, Jim and I were practicing our prop blurs. I managed to blur everything on the NASA bird.

Here are the two Navy F-18s...sequential numbers, even. What's the significance of the white scheme?

This Navy C-130 spent a lot of time in the pattern, and Jim and I were practicing our prop blur technique. I managed to blur everything else on most of my shots...this is about the best I came up with. I believe Jim did a lot better! I stood in the shade of a telephone pole most of the time so as not to sunburn my neck, but I forgot about the backs of my calves. Ouch!
