I so miss watching the F-4's running the pattern at Miramar like they did in the 70's when I was growing up there.

Great shots. Thanks for posting.

Steve,

Would you please send me a high-res copy of the shot of the P-38 and F-35A in formation? A little Photo Shopping and some cropping, and it would make for a great wallpaper!

Sorry I don't have one at the Luke Show, but I do have several at the Heritage Flight Conference in Tucson 03/05/16.
I posted them on my Flickr Site - Bill Word - on March 8, 19 & 20.
