Not my picture, but I've certainly watched these guys alot. The best was last year, they made a couple passes on a fire as I watched from a ridgeline. It was fun looking down on an aircraft that big. The pic of the 47 with the prop bent reminds of this story I read recently. An Israeli pilot brought home a F15 with only one wing. Pretty good pilot there, plus it speaks tons about the airplane itself.

WOW! That -10 picture is beautiful and the 3/4 version F-15 speaks for itself!Quote:

Pre-disastered?
