Nice photos.

I'm not surprised. It's not necessary to compress them so much. You're allowed up to 150 Kb per image.

His idea was that it looks like a A-4 skyhawk in some views.  the blue angels flew the A-4 before the Hornet.  hence he painted it in blue angels colors.  He has no affiliation with the Official Blue Angels.

He is in no way affiliated with the Blue angels...the blues have no problem with what he does.  I have a picture with his jet sitting next to blue angel 7.  the only time they have ever done that.
