Some great angles on the Hornets and Raptors and the weather gods were kind to you.

Tom, those look as though they could have been taken at Nellis were it not for the absence of mountains in the back ground!

Just a trek out into the forest away from everyone else. It can be a bit hit and miss depending upon how tight the jets turn.
