Drove down to the base today on my lunch break even though the weather was a horrible 40 degrees with a 20-25 mile north wind. Was parked up on the north end when i glanced across the runways and saw this guy taxing out. Shocked me, a white F18, thats awesome!! Turns out hes from VMFAT-101 out of El Toro, CA, “The sharpshooters”. I threw that car of mine into gear and got down to the north end in a hurry, just in time to step out and see him coming at me. He broke midfield and did a beautiful break right in front of me! Awesome! The guy in the back has his hands up on the sides and looks like hes enjoying the ride. Lol
Very nice catch! The Shooters have a few interesting birds. One of them has a nice camo paint scheme. I have never seen this one before.
Thanks bud. Is this the Badge of Honor bird? And in the back seat, look at the guy, is he a blue angel? Looks like the same jumpsuit and yellow helmet they wear.
Its the Medal of Honor for the MArine Corp jet that “shaprshooter has. Very good catch! plus that banking shot you got…. Awesome Bryan..
Great catch on the MOH jet, Bryan. Judging from the color of his flight suit and helmet, it looks like the guy in the back you referred to is a Blue Angel team member.
Thats what i was thinking. Thanks bud.
Need to play with it in Lightroom and photoshop and see if i can fix all the horrible lighting.
