Dreamlifter arriving

 

The dreamlifter is really just a 747. i think he expected to roll right to the end of the runway but it was closed off. it looked like a bit of 'panic now' in the last frame to pull it up before scattering the cone markers.

Caught It!!!!

 

In post # 6 above Ozzie shows a pic of the F-22 Raptor and tittles it "Catch this", well I reckon I caught it!

 

This shot has not been cropped at all, only the file size reduced to allow it to be posted.

 

It was taken with an Olympus 3.2 mp 10x optical zoom that is about 5 years old.

 

Original picture is about 1.3mb

Ozzie,

 

That shot is the one that we all have to fluke now & then.

 

Typically while the Raptor is an impressive bit of gear, it holds little interest for me, hence it is the subject of my best pic from 3.5 weeks in the USA.

 

Here is a few others..........

I thought it dropped a bit short for it's 22billion dollar price tag. should be able to fly sideways for that. it should do well at Reno tho. 006_laugh.gif.0f7b82c13a0ec29502c5fb56c616f069.gif
