Cool deal!   Hit up your local airshows; they are always good for aviation pictures.  Here's a few of mine:

Took me several tries at Airliners.net to get a photo approved. They have *high* technical standards, but I managed to squeak this one thru:

That airframe's new home is the 188th TFW in Fort Smith Arkansas, and it is parked 500m from our squadron HQ!

Here is a photo of exhaust from a missile launch at Vandenburg AFB, as seen from Bakersfield.  I shot this about 7-10 years ago when I still lived in So Cal.

Canon EOS-40D with a 20D as backup.

The shots I posted here were shot with a 100-400 L IS lens.

I've wanted to see them for some time now, but they really don't do the little shows around, well, anywhere.  To see them would involve a bit of a road trip to a major show unless I caught them in IL.
