I'm not much of a photographer... but some of these pictures turned out pretty good for a 69 dollar digital camera.

Nice pic's M8!!!

I see they had an F-22 Raptor from Tydall AFB there...

I live about 15 minutes from Tyndall and see these babies almost everyday in the air plus many F-15's & 16's.

It's like a mini airshow everyday around the base.

Once again - Great Pic"s.

Still haven't seen an F-22 up close. Just miles away with field glasses. Did they do a demo? Great pictures.

Some nice captures Magnum, it looks like you are giving us a nice view of a good show.

I don't know what your plans are for the photos you are putting on PhotoBucket, but unless you need to have the full-sized versions up there for printing or something, you might consider down-sizing them before uploading, as that will take up less space, take less time to upload, and probably make this page load faster for people.

There are a lot of free programs out there that will easily do that, but one I like is called IrfanView (http://www.irfanview.com). It can resize photos in bulk, so it doesn't take that long once you figure out a few simple commands.

Great pictures! Especially liked the Corsair.

Question about the F-22 since you have such nice close-up shots. Most pics I've seen of the F-22 canopy were gold tinted.
Maybe for RF shielding? Magnum's pics did not show this. Anyone know why?

I believe it is to prevent radar reflection
