160th fly by. I took the pic from the ramp of my plane and zoomed it in as close as I could. One of only a handful of times I flew in the daytime other than at the schoolhouse. It was wierd seeing colors other than green when you fly.

Guest C-21 Pilot

"Old Russian" Mig 21. Photo was taken at Entebbe, Uganda...These are the only fixed wing airplanes in the Ugandan Air Force.

On the day these were taken (30 May 05), the "student" pilot (silver jet) was only 16 years old - and didn't have a drivers license.

Not quite as interesting as some of the military hardware, but here are a few gliding photos.

first 3 are from when I augmented with the 210 RQS up in AK a couple years ago. That's me in the first one. Bottom pic is when we flew "near" the Grand Canyon returning home from Desert Rescue in '05

Not my pics but I like them.

The first two A-10 pics are jets from the 111 FW out of Willow Grove, which is due to have their planes taken away sometime in the next year or so. I've been watching them fly over my house as long as I can remember and they were my motivation to join the Air Force and become a pilot. Sad to think that now as I'm at the start of my Air Force career, these jets will flying low and slow over the Philadelphia area for the final time.

And to add to the mix, some classic warbirds from the WW2 Airshow in Reading, PA
