Traffic was a pain (2+ hours each getting on and off the base), and the lighting was not photographer friendly, so I didn't get great photographic quality shots (plus I can get in the way of my camera doing it's job ), but man, what a show. So many unique and interesting aircraft!

#1 Two F-16s. Not a great shot, and not that interesting, but I had to include it because of the passengers. The front plane has General Yeager in the back seat, and the second plane has General Engle (X-15 and space shuttle pilot, among other things). They opened the show with two double sonic booms in these planes.

sweet shots Ken, my favs are 3, 21, 23 & 24. some really interesting aircraft there.

You know, a B-17 in bare metal just looks... wrong I've so used to seeing them in greens.

Great shots Mate! The P38 is a beaut. The four ship Heritage Flight is awesome too!

Glad to hear you enjoyed yourself!

awesome shots Ken, I can't say there is one that I don't love!

All your shots are so good! The B-2, B-52, and the White Knight II were awesome!

Some of Ken's beautiful Edwards images will be the SimHQ calendars for November.

Thanks again Ken.

Good work there Ken! I really like the solo P-38 pic and the Heritage Flight.
