Shawn M Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 (edited) Now that I have your attention I have the luck of working across the street from where Boeing does the final assembly on Superhornets and F-15s. I've been trying for a while to get some shots and today I did! So here ya go. I had to crop as I only brought my 200mm, usually they are MUCH lower and fly earlier giving better lighting. Im bringing my 500mm tomorrow and will hope for a lower flight pattern and better light. There are some more here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/shawnmanny/sets/72157630076153138/detail/ Edited June 8, 2012 by Shawn M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Was this about 2:00? I heard an Eagle or a Hornet making a heck of a racket about then. I love that sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Back in 1976, I saw the Bicentennial Eagle being escorted back home to Lambert by an F-4E chase plane while I was driving North on Brown Road; great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
