A few weeks ago I got BX-4 the 4th Japanese B model off the line in STOVL I can now add BX-1 and 3 to that list and here they are in that order. Now only need BX-2. @LockheedMartin Friday seems like a good day to fly that one. Jasdf Japan Stovl


What can you find at the bottom of a rainbow? Apparently, an MV-22 Osprey from VMM-163 “Evil Eyes”! Forget gold, this is the kind of treasure I’m after. Easily my best Osprey shot to date.
Last night we celebrated the 4th of July in the best way possible—an air show at golden hour. 🇺🇸✈️ A rain delay cut the schedule short but gave us something even better: dramatic vapor trails and glowing skies. We had the Viper Demo Team flying the YF-16, Randy Ball with not…
Here’s a couple of photos of BX-4 a F-35B destined for Japan to be flown by the JASDF.



Tonka Tuesday (6/17) What better way to celebrate the renown Panavia Tornado than the famed Dambusters from 617 Sqdrn Seen here in their 70th anniversary year on static at the 2013 @airtattoo - a second jet would conduct flybys with the BBMF Lancaster as well - today they fly…
Today like every year we pause and remember all that have made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our country. "Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends” John 15:13
Always grateful to run into Major Lundgren and SSGT Eric “KP” Kilpatrick with @USMC VMFA-112 Cowboys. The Cowboys, based out of NAS JRB FTW, just recently took possession of several Marine F/A-18D Hornets from the VMFA(AW)-224 “Bengals” Squadron operating out of MCAS Beaufort.…
The Sun Has Set On The Bengals Time In The Hornet. Some of you know that I’ve been at WTI for the past six weeks. I’ve had the privilege and honor of working with VMFA(AW)-224 during their last ride with the hornet. For the Marines of 224 thank you.

A F-35C with VMFA-311 comes in for landing at MCAS Yuma at sunset. This is all natural colors no editing required.

Probably my favorite photo from Saturday at the El Centro Air Show. The teams comes from behind the crowd and breaks for the Low Break Cross.

A man and his machine A plane captain with VMFAT-502 stands in front of a F-35B waiting for a hand signal from the pilot before continuing start up procedures. I would like to give a huge shout out to VMFAT-502 for allowing me to come out. Photo cleared through their security.

Granbury, Texas. This morning I was woken up abruptly with hail hitting my windows. The stones varied in size throughout the 5-10 minutes they were falling. @FOX4 @NBCDFW @NBCDFWWeather


After waiting for a day off to actually photograph them here’s VMFAT-502 color bird taking off out of NAS Fort Worth. It is not as crisp as I would’ve liked but was fun getting one of my favorite angles.

Let’s see if we can add some nightmares to the belly shot folder

Never miss a sunset shot when there’s a chance. Here’s a T-6 Texan II from Vance Air Force Base sitting on the line at Fort Worth Alliance Airport

A F-22A Raptor formerly with the 325th fighter squadron out of Tyndall Air Force Base starts up getting ready to head to Hill Air Force Base for Depot level maintenance. This aircraft was involved in ground mishap a few years ago.

F-16 z 31 Baza Lotnictwa Taktycznego Poznań-Krzesiny i norweskie F-35 stacjonujące obecnie w Poznaniu w ramach natowskiego wsparcia, ćwiczyły nad Kołobrzegiem. Było całkiem rześko i wietrznie, nie powiem.
