Buck Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 All your friends are having Fini-Flights!!! Aloha folks! My standard “ghost around here†excuse… Been on the road again, short notice this time! Anyhow I wanted to share a couple snapped before leaving on my latest trip. I was busy trying to get out the door when I realized a good friend was flying his last mission that afternoon. So I shifted the morning mission to make his flight & jumped on with camera in hand to snap a few of his final Eagle sortie (with sufficient crew rest for my TDY of course!). Still own him an AT-38, A-10A, & Eagle... Gotta get started on those soon as well!!! Anyway here are the images taken on a late afternoon-go South of Maui Mahalo & Thanks for looking B) Mark Love the weathering and E Model (?) board. Not the entire bird(s) but I kinda like it, probably should have positioned them lower to clear the canopy frame... Still so much to learn!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spooky 01 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Wouldn't worry about the frame so much... Having them soo close, being able to position them "at will" and still just a little out of focus... Now THAT'S something to worry about !!!!! Still nice shot's, though. Thanx for sharing. "Check Six....." Spooky. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

yardbird78 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Very nice photography. The F-15 is a beautiful aircraft and you definately did it justice with your camera. Darwin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jinxter13 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 (edited) Thank you for the shots!!!......almost as good as being there.....I SAID ALMOST!! Ya know, in 10 years of modeling I've never had the urge to build an Eagle until juuuuuuust now ... How long have you had this phobia about Eagles , The only things they bite are Fulcrums, Flankers, Armor, Artillery, Scuds,and other such denizens on the ground. Well they haven't bitten a Flanker, but a few Fulcrums and for sure one Foxbat has felt the Eagles Talons. Saddam wound up needing a few aircraft parts..like a complete replacement.
