Nice ones Jim.  Best one I like is the VX-30 P-3 at that angle.

Real quiet today. This approach turned into a pass. Then he just flew away.  :'(

Saw either him or one similar late yesterday afternoon climbing out over Lancaster.

Since it is unclear whether there'll be a flyby (it may just be the static aircraft), here's the fly-by from back when the first delivery was made (sorry, forgot the date). I heard from a friend at the test squadron that the flyby was supposed to be much higher (Sen. Boxer was on stage at the time, too), and the pilot decided to come in MUCH lower, and later got in trouble for it. Note...this was shot with a 55mm lens on my old F2...no telephoto involved!
