Some pictures I took at the Joint Services Open House last week

Parachuter with giant flag

F-18 turning hard with afterburner

Super Hornet and Corsair in formation

Thunderbirds flying overhead

F-22 climbing

F-22 making a high speed pass with vapor forming over the wings

3 shots in succession of the F-22 making a level high speed pass

third shot

F-22, P-51, and A-10 flying in formation

Another shot of them from the side



The following pictures are full res so they'll load slowly. But I'm including them this way so you can see more detail.

Nice pics. I grew up on USAF bases, so I remember fondly the Open House affairs they used to hold...

(this dates me, I know) I rmember seeing B-36's, B-47's, DC-3's, C-124's, C-119's, and some of the "new" jet fighters, such as the F-104 Starfighter, The F-101, the C-130 when it was brand-spanking new...dozens of restored WWII aircraft, and many, many more. (the early 60's were good!)

 

[dbk]

nice!

 

[Farbio]

Nice pics!

grew up on bases too BoomerD - although they were all SAC bases, so our open houses were definitely geared more towards the B-52 BUFFs, restored B-17s, B-24s, B-29s, I do remember seeing the B-1 for the first time & they had a AC-130 out once...that's one f'n mean machine!

[ViviTheMage]

f22 is my favorite

 

[M0oG0oGaiPan]

damn very nice shots.

that f22 picture with the vapor is pretty bad ass.

 

[LaBella]

REAL cool stuff...thanks for sharing!

 

[ProfJohn]

Great quality on the pics.

Growing up around Naval air based you get so used to seeing planes in the sky daily. Now the sky seems so lonely.

 

[Unheard]

Can I get the P-51/A10/F22 in full res? I want to use it as my background.

Can you add more high res pics ( If you have them)?


Amazing- I keep coming back to them

 

[jteef]

what did the paratrooper do to ensure the flag didn't touch the ground when he landed?

 

[Homerboy]

I know most people get off on the jets (F22, A10 etc) but that P51 Mustang.... drool.
If I ever win the lottery its flying lessons and a quick purchase or 2 for me.

[JoeKing]

nice pics :thumbsup:

I've had to work that JSOH at Andrews for the last 3 years, after the first year it just means a weekend I'm on duty selling food or lugging speakers and running cable

the centennial flight is defiantly the highlight for me.
