No worries... PM me a good email address, and I will send you the full size pictures. Photobucket resizes them down a bit. The originals are much bigger... just let me know what you want.

The F-15's here on Cape Cod are moving to western Mass. A strategic and tactical blunder. They'll be farther away from NYC and DC. Where they are is perfect to defend the northeast coast. Someone blew someone...

I have always loved the B-25 myself. I could not get very close to it when it was tethered down on the runway, but... I was right near it when they lit it off. Hearing it taxi gave me chills. But, IMHO, the Corsair sounded SOOOOOOOOOOO good!!!!!

I loved the fly by's they did... I just wish a Lightening would have been there...

I will take a 2007 Mooney Acclaim. One of these days I am going to be able to afford it.
