I love how close to the ground the rear end gets when the Viper hits the deck.

Two aircraft with the same purpose, with decades of service behind each.

I quite liked the odd color and flare in this shot.

Since there was no F-22 this year (dodgy oxygen generation systems, apparently) the Heritage Flight was a bit... muted.

Point away from the crowd and go to reheat. Always a winner.

Pulling Gs with the tailpipe brightly lit. It took some serious work to salvage this shot and I'm quite pleased with how it turned out. The sun was, I'm sure I've said before, a real dog that day.

The little puff of vapor beneath the intake looks a bit like a beard. I'm not sure whether I should draw attention to that, or to the burner.
