Didn't get many photos from the Airshow this weekend. Only took 457 photos, and out of those I thought this was the best one.

F-22 Pre-Flight

Still need to get a better lens for my camera before I can really get some nice air shots, but that will come in time

Wow! That is an excellent shot! I hope you had a great time at the airshow, wait, who am I kidding? Of course you had a great time at the airshow!

Hey, thats a Tyndall bird! Nice! I will be at Tyndall this Saturday barring any bad weather to see that very bird. Well, maybe not the exact one, but you know what I mean! Very cool looking shot!

"Er, excuse me, but would you mind getting out of the way?"

Nice catch.

Nice catch.

and once you move can you remove the wheel chocks as well?

Nice catch

Wow! GREAT shot! And that's almost an understatement!  :o

Something tells me the plane is going to win this stand off... lol

Ooh, good point, well made. Mind you, with a thrust to weight ratio like that...

I always wondered just how much power it would take to jump the wheels chocks. They really can't hold a jet back that much can they?

If the F-22 can super cruise without afterburners then wheel chocks wont hold it back.  ;)  They're just there to make sure he doesn't roll around while he does runups etc. Its also just extra safety should the parking break fail.
