had a few visitors at the job site today
this one was their first pass.  still about 2 miles away.  i had the camera on 6x digital zoom.  notice the afterburner glow
 
low and slow
 
this project site is in a valley so you hear them all around and then all of a sudden here they come.  its all but imposible to focus, keep the sun's glare out and get a good shot.  there was a sinlge that i never heard until it was over my head (i'm dead)  never got a shot. when you follow them to the west you're looking right into the sun
 
 
this is a shot of the new air bus.  what a monster.  it took off about 3pm. i looked over my shoulder and saw it just above the roof tops.  a f-18 was escourting it out over the ocean during practice.  it was flying so low and slow i couldn't believe it was staying in the air.  i was scrambling to find what pocket i put my camera in  

 it would have been an awesome shot.  anyway, it circled around for a while before it was gone.  I'm not sure if its going to do a fly by tomorrow or not
