Flying

Keith;

Thanks for the compliment on the picture - actually getting head-on shots with military pilots is rather easy. No air-show regulations to worry about, so you just tell the pilot where you are and that you have a camera.......

As I was working as a TACP, we were in radio contact or monitoring, so our locations were always known. Most of my pictures were taken in a hurry, so most don't have much detail.

On the A-37, that is an interesting shot....a top view from the rear with flaps down....a low pass with a pull-up???

Also, I see US insignia on the top of the left wing...were these planes Vietnam 'vets'?

I'll add one more picture (I've got thousands... ) of my favorite jet fighter, caught on a approach to a gunnery run. It was moving quick, 450-500 mph.

......ahh for the 'good old days'....
