These shots are from the Eglin AFB air show about 2 years ago... I dont think I have ever posted them. So, I thought I'd share! Didnt get any action shots as my batteries crapped out. Oh well!

A resident Strike Eagle, used for weapons and systems testing as indicated on the tail "ET" meaning Eglin Test

Everyones favorite, the Raptor. From nearby Tyndall AFB
Image

The soon to be resident at Eglin for pilot training, the F-35
Image

The old stealth, and I do mean old! Not long before they were retired. What I mean by old.... look at the tail number. 79. The aircraft is 1 year younger than I am!
Image

the KC-135R
Image

And the newest addition to the area, the V-22. For reference, the guy standing there is 6 feet tall, and some change.

Got some great captures there, hard to believe that the Raptor and the JTF have been flying for this long, I have yet to see either one in person, and the last time I saw a Stealth I was 12 years old (15 years ago)
