Mostly because there's just been no activity to even shoot besides air shows. Well the Thunderbirds are coming up to my local base and paid a media visit last week. TB#8 arrival.

Was hoping she would make some noise announcing the Thunderbirds had arrived but that didn't happen..


Made a few over head passes breaking left and then right over Portsmouth.


Then came in to land, the snow really was a perfect reflector!



Last Oct we had these Typhoons stop by, my "Bigma" isn't good in low light so these are a little grainy. Had to bump my ISO up to get more light in.



They did present some nice burners, these guys were LOUD!


Then last week I received an email about the 104th FW having a Norad exercise and the weather was going to beautiful so I took a "mental health" day..

Reheat 81 check flight


Cleared for unrestricted climb to 10K ft


left overhead break

More good stuff, Dave - nicely done.

Nice images TG, those Typhoons were a lucky catch

Thanks Ken & Harry, I was very lucky to catch them. They seem to either hit Bangor in Me or Westover in MA. Just got lucky that morning!

Beautiful. I hope you submitted some of those for the March Calendars.

thanks, I just sent an note to Doug to see if he needs any for April, I'm assuming March is already picked out?

great shots, must get out and get some more aircraft images myself..

for the overcast shots, stick a little s-curve on them to give them POP

Thanks Jim, I'm not sure if elements has that feature?
