They finally got the call to scramble around 1. Killer Flight of 2

Lead






Wingman




an hour later they returned, provided an nice overhead to announce they're back.


1 low pass each, this guy appears to be looking over to make sure I get his good side.


Catch the C-5 from neighboring Westover ARB


Then landed




And taxied by me

Very nice! I love the background scenery too.

interesting paintjob.

Nice catch! Good to see some screamin' Eagles again.

Out of interest, is there any particular reason why one is a D (minus backseater) and the other a C, or is it just "the way aircraft were assigned that day"?

Very nice, we occasionally get Lakenheath F-15s passing over here, which is great because the skies have been quite since they ditched the Harrier

Thanks guys, it was a nice fix especially seeing all that burner. air show season is still 4 months away...

Very nice pics Top Gun.

That's what I love about Southern California - I've got the first air show of the season in about three weeks, and a week after that I have to decide which one of two to go to that are happening on the same day.

I see Riverside on March 26th but what are the other two ?

El Centro is on the 12th, and Yuma is also on the 26th (not technically SoCal, I know, but within a few hours driving distance from me). I had the dates wrong - they're two weeks apart, not one.
