That would be pretty cool to photograph. I think it might have been kind of neat to try out a different set of angles while shooting this one. Nice capture though.

Awesome bird, but before you fly it be sure and remove the plastic flags! :)

Never hurts to have a few pictures to promote the military.

Thanks Doug, Larry and Wayne!

Doug - I took quite a few different angles but only have this one ready for publication so far. I'll try to get some more out there next week.

Larry - I love the plastic flags as well. You'd think the folks responsible for this equipment would have been trained to remove them at launch time and wouldn't need the blatant reminder.

Cheers!
