Fantastic shot. Here's the man himself:

He should be proud of his bird. There aren't many aircraft that have such a long lifespan in the military. Sure, there are other trainers out there, but none of them are as good as the T38.

Then this one is for your grandfather. I really like T38s. The Thunderbirds were at their best when they flew them. One of the reasons they were picked for the SR-71 program is that their subsonic flight characteristics are similar to the SR-71s. They really are an amazing plane.

Such a great photo! My grandfather was the lead aeronautical engineer on the T38. He always had the patent and scale model in his office. He passed this year but he was always so proud that they are still one of the safest supersonic trainers and that they’re still being flown.

Thanks. I was shooting from the ground. Gotta love a 500mm lens. Why will you not see this formation anywhere else? Because those T38s are based at Beale as are all the U2s. Its very rare to have even one escort for a U2 let alone two. This was done as a tribute to a U2 pilot who was killed last year in the crash of one of the two seat trainer U2s.

For the uneducated plane people, why not?

Great photos btw. Are you shooting from another plane or are these all from the ground?

You will not find this formation anywhere else in the world.

crazy stuff happening over here

[BlackbirdM3]

I figured I needed a warm up before next weekends epic airshow at Chino. Beale AFB.

The climb rate of a U2 is insane. This is a normal takeoff.



I knew Yaks were small, but damn.

Not a B25... A PBJ-1D




Those are just a few highlights that I've found, I shot a lot of pics.

What does smugmug do? I'm genuinely curious. I hadn't heard about them until this Flickr acquisition.

I’ve used it to host my portfolio for a few years. Reasonable monthly expense, flexible pricing for prints, good margins, great quality and fast shipping.

Nicely done. That's a good collection of photos. I really like the astro one and the flowers pano right after it

Hey friends. Been creeping on here for a few month since starting my S50 swap project. Thought I'd share some of my favorite shots from over the years. For years I shot with a Canon 6D, but like most, I have transition into mirrorless with the Sony A7Rii. It's a beast! Enjoy:
