The Joint Forces Sailing Centre at HMS Hornet in the foreground - been out of there a couple of times in my younger days. There's a Barred Warbler in the NNR at Titchfield Haven at present which I hope to get to see later this week - if weather and domestic authorities permit! For now a Harrier from last month's shoot at RAF Cosford

That could possibly be the last F16 for the Indonesian Airforce nice colours...
Very possible. I saw a few of them and worked with a guy that helped (re)build them and deliver them.

The Brietling Team..................
The Brietling Team shared an airshow I attended with the Thunderbirds last year and although the USAF team was the headliner, they were clearly outdone by Brietling.
Thank you, I'm going to re-do it on a tripod with all the "remove before flight" stuff gone as well as the chocks. This really was one of those see it/grab it kind of situations that caught me unprepared. We had just completed an air to air with "SOA" and Randy Ball in his MiG 17, I jumped out of the B25 and met the guys down at the T-38 hangar for a celebratory Coke and debrief. The crew had "SOA" spiffed up and back in it's spot when I walked through the hangar and there was the shot. I guess I should be grateful that I had a camera with me or it would have been an iPhone capture..........................eeeeek!
As far as the iMac, I don't really expect much of a boost in still post processing, but I'm throwing more and more cinema footage at my 5K iMacs and I'm thinking the new machine will rock that application.
Those of you flying "drone"s in the U.S., should be aware that the president signed a law today that once again requires FAA registration of "drones".
I haven't seen the new law, but the previous law classified anything flying that you are controlling remotely, or anything engaged in autonomous flight as a "drone". The previous registration scheme was basically drone pilot registration. You registered with the FAA, and they assigned you a number that you place on all of your "drones". I assume the new registration law operates the same way, but that is only my assumption, I haven't seen the new law.
As an AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics) member I received an e-mail notice of the change from the AMA government relations team. Just thought I would pass the information along for those operating "drones" that aren't AMA members.
Haven't seen the Thunderbirds in action yet, but did try this past summer in Dayton. Unfortunately, there was a crash (no one injured) and they were grounded.
But, got a nice static diplay picture of a pilot showing a future pilot around the cockpit.
Hopefully, I'll have better luck catching them in action in 2018.
