    If you were running the range, i would hope you would tell joe to put the butt of the rifle to his shoulder securely! I can imagine his shot grouping would be quite off judging from that pic! :D

    I've heard those are some moody aircraft. First pic does not look real, looks cool, but probably was either photoshopped or painted.

    This F-4E of the Imperial Iranian Air Force is photographed at [FONT=ARIAL, Helvetica, Geneva][FONT=ARIAL, Helvetica, Geneva][FONT=ARIAL, Helvetica, Geneva][FONT=ARIAL, Helvetica, Geneva][FONT=ARIAL, Helvetica, Geneva]Tehran-Mehrabad International Airport on April 17, 2008. It is a wonder to me how they manage to keep these old warbirds in the air (maybe a little help from other countries). This aircraft still looks good after 30 or so years.

    Wow, someone who remembers the B-58. Impressive. I'm Army but a jet buff. Always thought that was a cool bird. Especially the minigun in the tail.

    Another Convair beauty, the F-106 firing a genie rocket

    I have a picture of a Florida Air Guard F-106 firing a Genie. That was a bad ass rocket! The B-58 is my all time favorite bomber.

    I get to work with the POL troops who fuel these birds. Love the Bone as that is one mean looking machine but no pics that I can post. The Blue Angel is at Elmendorf and the Raptor is at Kadena (both at open houses or air shows.)
