mkimages Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 I am green, yes, green with envy! That looks to have been a wonderful three days. You've definitely posted some great images so far, my fave being the F-4/P-51 shot from below with the low sunlight; just gorgeous. Can't wait to see more. Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites
RipVW Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 OK - Back again - I wanted to get a few more shots in before the end of the day and I'll post a few more on Wednesday. Here's Dozer (the Raptor demo pilot) and SSgt Volasky (in the yellow intake crawling suit) just after Dozer's awesome Friday demo. Link to post Share on other sites
RipVW Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 Here's Dozer in the cockpit just after popping the canopy, the engines were still spooling down. Can you make out the 044 just ahead of the electro-luminescence panel on the nose? It's there - look hard. Link to post Share on other sites

RipVW Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 OK - Last shot for today. I'm not particullarly fond of this photo, but it has a sinister quality to it. Not overly crisp, totally lacking detail, almost a silhouette. But the retangular fire from the ABs - just awesome. Thanks to all of you for the positive comments - I'm always happy to share the photos with the ARC membership. More tomorrow! ATB - - Rip - Link to post Share on other sites
