The C-17's going into Dover AFB fly to the SouthEast of me..they shake the ground at their "glide" altitude!
Nice capture!

Thanks! The C-17 brought a tear to my eye actually. I flew on that bird as a loadmaster in the 15th Airlift Squadron a few times when it was brand new at Charleston over 25 years ago! Hard to believe I have been retired that long!

It was a good day!
Got 1 of my Eagle Scout merit badges in semaphore signals...I was a amateur radio operator already so I knew morse code.
Jim's nephew's helo aviation unit flies over my house a few times a week. When Jim's nephew was a member, I have a military unit flag posted above my house..1 would "break formation" and give me a "waggle and a wave".
Great looking compositions Zane!

FYI, anyone looking for DJI products that aren't generally available in the US at the moment, The Drone Dr. has all the right stuff and great service. Just got an email from them that they have the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 available and they shipped one out to me immediately. The OSMO Pocket 3 has been a great tool, I got it on a whim for our North Pole Expedition and it turned out to be a very handy tool. The 4 version has a slightly better sensor dynamic range and considerably better low light capabilities.
Oh, Wings Over Houston just contacted me to tell me that ticket are going on sale tomorrow and they expect the show to sell out before end of day. The line up keeps getting better, really looking forward to that show.

*long time since I've been on here*
With the weak Canadian dollar, I could probably make a tidy profit buying them here and driving them across the border and shipping them to people.
I had wanted to make that Houston show but it looks like I will not make it. My wife has scheduled a trip to see our daughter who graduated this spring and is working as a civilian engineer for the Air Force at Eglin AFB.
Sorry Joe, but that sounds like a fun trip. I have been offered preferred credentials to Pensacola, not sure what my schedule will be then, but I'm going to try.
I seem to be bouncing between Texas and Florida a lot these days. Beautiful approach into Tampa............... That's MacDill AFB jutting out into Tampa Bay.
I feel so Blessed to do what I do for a living every day. I guess it's a sure sign that you are hooked when you fly a thousand miles, shoot all day and you're still taking pictures all the way back.

Yesterday morning it looked like we were on MARS or something. Orange haze and you could smell the ashes all the way down to your throat. Little better today though.
