Had the opportunity to go on base down at Davis-Monthan AFB in Tucson, AZ and while I was there for one specific reason, I also had a chance to shoot some of the practice hops being flown in advance of this year's airshow season...

There were F-22 Raptors

F-4 Phantom IIs

A P-47 Thunderbolt and several Mustangs

And throughout the course of the day, they would mix different types

Love the Rhino shot with the Boneyard in the background, Jay. Wonderful contrast between what might have been for the old bird and what, thankfully, is. Well done.
