Couldn't help but notice with the first photo that you've been down the I-10 in Florida. If you are looking for an F-15 to take pics next to there is a decent one at the Eglin AFB armament museum. If you'd like I could post up some pics so you could check it out. I was just there two days ago on vacation but I'd flown down so no way of getting pics with the 8. However you could drive right up to this one if you wanted to.

Overall unique post.

 

It would be great if someone would cover that F-15 photo. A local would be easiest. We're way overdue for some Air Force representation here. Here are a couple of USAF jets that are local to me (Even though these jets are in my city, both pictures were taken right after that long East Coast road trip.)

 

(Both jets have a special story behind them.)

 

Believe me once the snow melts and break up is complete i will have picks... but i doubt it will be before i leave for the middle east... my car is just way to dirty i mean it looks like i went 4 wheeling in it dirty and i wash it atleast 1 time a week the melting season sucks so much in alaska. i will get some shots with a F-4, P-38 (the only one built of its kind, it was a special model that crashed in the mountains up here was rebuilt), F-15, C-130, F-87, and i think we have an f-102 on base also... and a helicopter lol. but i gotta wait for break up to finish so pray for it guys because i want the frozen roads to leave and the rocks... found 2 dents so far from all the damn rocks being spit up i knew i shoulda left her in the garage but i love driving my 8 too damn much.

 

The latest in this series can be called...

Hood ornament is about all the A-7 was good for!!!

 

NAVAIR Rulz!!!!!!

 

The idea of being a carrier fighter pilot would be very tempting,
...except for the fact that they make you live on the boat!

But that doesn't keep me from appreciating the beauty from the outside looking in. Here are a few more from that Hornet shoot:









And another angle with the Tomcat:

 

Wing5, was that a black leerjet? That's sexy as hell... Once I'm making the millions I'll have to get one of those .

 

*Bump* for rotaries&wings.

 

It's a gunmetal Gulfstream IV. Waaaaay better

HIX8: F-14 = teh sex!

 

clean off the brake dust...pleaasseee

 

Yeah, I want to spend my vacations scrubbing my wheels every time I want to stop and take a photo to share with this forum...

 

no disrespect, i like your pics. Keep em' coming.

 

I was back out at our local airport this week.

Ok, who has the right of way...

 

For anyone curious, here's the view from outside the car...



(That's the NASA 707 popularly known as the "Vomit Comet".)

 

Another from that photoshoot...



At the time I clicked the shutter I wasn't paying much attention to the cloud reflections, but that is my favorite part of the way this photo came out.

 

Just wait till the Mazdaspeed 8 comes out... it can fly.

 

BTW, your oil pressure is low and your TPMS light is going off

 

Whoa. Sorry about the earlier pix getting clobbered. I need to find a better image hosting service.

Here are the two others from Ellington Field again...

 

Nice. Thanks for sharing.

 

Great shot!

If I get everything done today I might have some pics to share as well....

 

yup, thats would be fun to have a turbine engine inside the 8.......

 

Glad to. I never got around to telling the story of those last two jets (F-102 & F-16). The name on the F-16 canopy rail is Lacy Veach. He was an astronaut who flew with the Ellington Guard.

And for the F-102, here is what you see zooming in on that photo...
