Boeing T-45C Goshawk, Training Squadron 9 (VT-9), NAS Meridian, Mississippi. Seen on approach to runway 19L at ICT during one of several touch-and-goes by this uncommon visitor.
VMA-542, MCAS Cherry Point, North Carolina. Side-on shot of this McDonnell Douglas AV-8B Harrier II at the St. Louis County Fair and Airshow, after the pilot was kind enough to take the ropes down for me.
The serial is incorrectly painted as 158857, it really is 158657. A Vought A-7E Corsair II sits static at the Navy airpark at New Century Air Center. She's definitely in desperate need of lots of TLC.
A Douglas A-4L Skyhawk, formerly of VMA-214 'Blacksheep' squadron, now sits derelict at the Navy airpark at New Century Air Center. The three static jets there are in desperate need of some TLC.
402 Squadron, 17 Wing, CFB Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. DeHavilland Canada CT-142 "Gonzo" of the Royal Canadian Air Force seen parked up at ICT during a stopover, and wearing colors to commemorate the squadron's 75th Anniversary.
Sitting in silence on the Duxford Airfield is this fabulous Vulcan. Now that she's outdoors, she offers a great opportunity to photograph her completely. What a beautiful bird.
The mighty Phantom sitting on the Duxford Airfield basking in the sun. I miss seeing those mighty fighters in the air, as you can really only see them regularly in Germany, Greece (you'll get arrested there), Turkey, Japan, and Israel.
This GR.4 wrapped up the Duxford show on Saturday, giving a spectacular display. This pass shows her all cleaned up, ready to light the afterburners and climb. You could literally almost feel the afterburners.
This GR.4 wrapped up the Duxford show on Saturday, giving a spectacular display. Here she lets it all hang out...down and dirty as it were, she shows off all her stuff. You could literally almost feel the afterburners.
A nice close-up of a Jag taxiing out to runway 22 at CLF for another mission out on the bombing range. Seen here being accompanied to the runway by Armée de l'Air 665, a Mirage 2000D from Nancy. The French pilots wouldn't wave back, unlike the Jag pilots.

Jaguar GR.3A from 54 Squadron seen holding short of runway 22 at CLF and pilot adjusting his helmet, prior to being repainted in her 65th Anniversary at Coltishall markings.
Two seat Jaguar moving out to runway 22 at RAF Coltishall for another sortie out on the ranges. Man what I wouldn't give to be along for a ride in something like that!
