Nothing has the "right" look of a Cobra.

Great shots Ken, at Rhode Island we have a good vantage point to see this move as well.




To the left of the take off point is where the helo's take off and it would be awesome to sit down there when they take off but I'm not sure the blues allow it. There is an ILS light just the left of the second shot. You are allowed to park up there and it looks right down the runway. I should sit out there one day just to capture this angle.

Hope we can hook up at Nellis Ken if you're still going?

Lovely shots Ken! Fat Albert is a peach and the I agree with the others about the Cobra, what a machine!
