Very nice series, jabird56. I really like the C 130.

The Blue Angels C-130 is nicknamed Fat Albert, and has a all U.S. Marine crew

Do they still demonstrate JATO take-off?

I believe they do once in a while.

From the Leesburg Airshow 2023, a small town show a little north of Washington DC. There was some Wonderfull clouds and the light changed dramatically in different parts of the sky and over time. There were all shot with an R3 and a 100-500 RF lens.

A couple of F15s flew by rather fast as I was hoping for BIF this morning.

Strange colour scheme!

Yes, it had just finished raining, so we had lots of different coloured cloud’s, dark, light even gray. Possibly the light interacting with the clouds and the plane caused the strange colours?

Great pictures! It looks as if it is unpainted, e.g. becausenit needed a new coat of stealth paint. The different colours are probably from the different materials used in the construction of the F22.

Thanks. Your explanation makes more sense.
