Some great shots of the MAW there! Makes me miss being deployed.

I love this pic! Use it as my facebook background often...
CIWS goin' to town! My cranial fell of when I was taking this picture, thought I was deaf for the rest of the day...
I spent a week on the shitty kitty. It was humbling. That phalanx system is bad assery.

The only time I've been in one was on the ground. Neat looking animal.... I watched a CSAR team demo from an Osprey that was sitting about 60 ft in the air, then it came back and landed after the demo was complete. Really fun to watch, but after some of the stories I've heard.... No thanks! One of my friend's dad worked somewhere along the line in the engineering and development stage and after some of the things he told me, there is NFW I would fly in one.
Quib, as always, your photography is beautiful.

Not a great quality picture, but my dad started the engine on his homebuilt RV-7A for the first time yesterday - Huge milestone!
Quib, you could have a have a heyday taking pictures of this RV... It is absolutely immaculate! Took 8 years to build. The only thing he didn't do himself was the panel wiring - he paid someone else to do that.
Here's a few more pics...
Unloading it from the trailer after moving it to the airport:
Prop and nose cone:
If you guys are interested in seeing the build process, I can ask if he's okay with me posting a link to his Picasa gallery with over 550 photos of the progress over the past 8 years. Post here or PM me, and I'll PM you the gallery link.
