Default Nellis Air Show, lucky shot

I cannot claim any particular skill in getting this picture other than mashing the shutter button and letting the camera record a burst of pictures. Sometimes you just get lucky.

Glad I wasn't with them-would've had to change my shorts.

Nice shot. Haven't been to an air show in a while but when I was going regularly I loved trying to get shots like that. Hard to tell what you got on the small screen but every so often you get a good one. The beauty of digital....shoot...shoot...shoot. And when you do get THE ONE it feels so good doesn't it.

And of course there is that roar of freedom!

I have been fortunate to have worked the flight line twice for the Thunderbirds. First with F-4's and then T-38's.

That should tell you when.
