Wow! Those are not just pictures, they are art.

I love the airpland and the jet together, really neat. Thanks.

Here.

I am amazed at my friends skill in capturing these shots.

Enjoy!

That is first class photography! The composition, clarity & depth of field all superb.

I wonder how he took the in air pictures, if he was in another aircraft or perhaps the control tower?

Serious zoom lense. He is/was on the ground like the rest of us.

That's amazing. When I saw the tops of the planes (while in flight), it appeared the photographer was also in the air. The planes must of been flying sideways? After another look there is blue sky behind the planes.

All services and even the civilians do some pretty amazing stuff at Andrews. I have managed to get to a lot of airshows, world wide, and even had some up close and personal fly bys, the show at Andrews just seems to bring it to another level.

I can recall one year, a USMC harrier was showing his/her stuff, the heat from the engines when they came out of vertical was -----singeing... :) But we didn't care because our ear drums were rupturing. :)

The pilots and supporting crew are an amazing group to do what you do/have done.

Congrats on your years of service!

Hey! He WAS moving!!!! (Just a tad slower than those blue birds. :p):)

Please pause for a moment from our regular scheduled programming. I need to 'pull the leg' of MossRoad. ;)

Since you have the '747 on the tarmac' mastered the next assignment is to catch a city bus standing at the bus stop. :D :D :D
