Top of the World
This F-35B pilot is giving us an enthusiastic wave, as he taxis past. These guys gave my wife and I, an up close look at the jet and were all around great dudes.
Pictured here, my father L.G. McCollom as a WW ll fighter pilot in the Army Air Corps, 8th AF (56th & 353rd Fighter Groups.) His P-47 was shot down over France and he was a POW in Stalag Luft One for 16 months. A career Air Force officer, he was stationed all over the world and our family, while I was at home, moved 11 times in 18 years, including Japan and Germany. He was also deployed away from family for year in Korea and 6 months in Alaska. Retirement ceremony as a Maj. General included an air show by the Thunderbirds. Proud of you Dad. Miss you.

Coming Home
The student flying this F-35A, makes a perfect approach and landing back at Luke AFB, as the last of the day's light shines on the jet. Notice you can see his instruments glowing green in the cockpit.

Sunliners In East Tennessee
A trio of VFA-81 Super Hornets, recently stopped through McGhee-Tyson Airport for fuel. The jets had a nice collection of mission marks from their previous deployment.

From this vantage point, it appeared that the pilot of this WW2 fighter plane had his camera sights set on the runway..... likely waiting for a plane to fill the frame.
Only peaceful camera 'shots' were fired from this 1940's, B-25 Mitchell, medium range fighter plane.
