Cheers Peter!

You don't find much humor at airshows so when you do, you gotta snag it! :lol:

He looks SO serious to boot haha. I don't think I'd like to be on the end of his tongue lashing if the pilot did not park exactly where he said!

My first thought was "where ever the hell it wants", but that opening shot gave me a laugh Nicely done, Jay; I like the scale that that shows. That cat looks like he could "out mean" an A-10

The "denouement" seems to be "No Harm .. No Foul"

Luke is traditionally one of the very first airshows for many of the military and civilian acts so absolute perfection (while sought) is often not quite achieved! :lol:

(There was an F/A-18 Hornet taxiing around so these last three were shot through some exhaust...)

The guy in blue is still trying to be the dominant of the two, notice how he makes the pilot stretch his arm towards him to shake hands? I still would not like to get on his wrong side, he'd probably make your life hell haha

Great stuff, Jay. Like an ealier post, I at first thought "anywhere he wants". Love the look on his face in the first one. After seeing that, pilot says " watch this".
