I thought the females name was like 13 letters with one vowel?

Well, that makes sense then.
I thought it was just the one. The one I was referring to was the first female tbird pilot and her last flight with them was on sunday.
Thanks for the info.

You, me and about 50,000 others... I know because I was behind most of them in line for a bus back out! :(

Well, at least for next year, I now know they don't really enforce the security rules as written.

The Japanese gentleman to my left had a huge Think Tank lens case for his 500 f/4 and the person on my right had the largest Tamrac bag I've ever seen. Me, I was schlepping along with everything stuffed into my photo vest pockets...sheesh!

I also wouldn't have thought they'd have allowed tripods but they were everywhere. One guy even had stuff in a shopping cart (the two wheeled wire-mesh kind) and he set up like he was camping there for a week! :shock:

Oh well, at least my shots turned out pretty well.

Thanks for having a look...

Sweet image,
I love the late afternoon sunlight on their backs. I work where the F-22 is made, and do you think I can get a photo of it? It also looks surprisingly large compared to the other ac, especially the F-4
