Thanks for that post Ray, I didn’t really answer the question. Thought that it was interesting that, with that loads they were carrying the F16 could be at 500 knots by the end of the runway. Lots of thrust there! These guys go out loaded and play for an hour, then come back on fumes.
If I was a "driver" of one of these "rockets" and they being from Texas?, I would smell the air upon landing with "E"(whatever Empty is on a jet)...."Ah the great smell of "country" air"! Here in ag country that means cow (methane) pies smells gud!

If you don't need to shoot something out of the sky, this is a nice way to put some miles behind you. I have a dozen of these to shoot as soon as I can get to them.................

It's the smell of "Freedom" for certain Dan! Boydo and I drank it in until the last rays were gracing the Texas landscape, hated to see it end.
Aside from the fact that it's pretty cool to be able to go where you want on a military airfield, the birds are always loaded. Airshow aircraft rarely have anything on the hard points.

I was hired, once again, by Air Wisconsin to photograph the first "new" CRJ that has changed from being a United Express aircraft to an American Eagle scheme.
Wish I had been able to take more photos of it. As soon as it left the paint shop, it took back off to Appleton, WI in about two hours.
Probably an ATR Dan. They discontinued them in the midwest because they were falling out of the sky due to horizontal stabilizer ice. Bad crash in Indiana around that time.
Flew six batteries off in the Mavic 3 Pro this morning for a new client. Seems the neighboring construction project moved some dirt around that is causing my client's site to flood. The M3 Pro was the perfect tool for the job. Winds are 15-25 out of the south today so the drone went through batteries like candy, but it did an exceptional job. I brought the I2 just in case the smaller drone had problems with the wind velocity, but it wasn't necessary.

Tucsonans died in that crash, among others of course. Hamilton 'Lee' Stackhouse was a photography enthusiast. His wife Bernice was also a passenger.

Or the Jetstream 31....they had a ton of them skittering around the taxiways back in the 80s too
