strikeeagle801 Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 That shot of the #5 bird coming in is amazing Ken. Great shot. Unfortunately, there will not be any shots like that coming from me any time soon...but I digress. The C-17 must've gotten REEEAAALLLLY lost...it's on the wrong side of the country!

Jinxter13 Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 That shot of the #5 bird coming in is amazing Ken. Great shot. Aaron Ditto, ditto, DITTO!!!!...that is fantastic...normally shots of that bird, unless it's with the #6 bird you rarely see the inverted 5. Many thanks Ken; once again our eyes on the skies do us a great favor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
