Not too many folks can appreciate the Cobra formation pic.

Yeah, keep telling yourself that. Truth is they got scrambled to make sure you guys landed at the right airport.

...too soon?

And Here I thought the C-17 was following them to the Boneyard so they had a ride home.

....No no. See, this is a win-win for everybody.....the C-17s land at the right field and the Eagles get an airborne filmer platform to shoot footage for the '13 Raytheon award video. :thumbsup:

That and the C-17 is full of MX guys, tools and parts as at least one of those Eagles will hard break when they RON somewhere off station. Spent too many years working Eagles, this is closer to the truth than anyone will admit.

To the Eagle Keepers! :beer:

Depends on where they RON. Amazing how 2 motors and redundant hydraulics always seem to work well enough get out of any bad location.

Wasn't aware that Eagles ever went to bad locations...

Awesome shot of Patriot's Point and the USS Yorktown. What was the purpose of this formation? I'm sure the tourists on Fort Sumter and elsewhere enjoyed the view!

Hauled the 33rd up for Tng w/ local bases, in exchange got some DACT. The local Combat Camera folks rode along. This was circa 2006, Russ Cooley got lots of the pics from the sortie published. B roll had lots of keepers. Gotta use the expired MJU-10s somehow. All briefed and blessed.
