Not as an accomplished photographer as Redhook, but I do enjoy trying to snap some photos of fast moving military hardware flying above me.

Always loved planes and jets. Never can capture a "BigStick Approved" level of photo, but I try.

Probably doesn't help that my Canon body is over 5 years old and the glass is just the standard Canon lens that came with the camera.

Buddy has a house down by Seward Parker. He throws a mean party and he's got a great view of the toys flying in the air.

When I got there, a P47 was flying in formation with a P-51. Gotta love those engine noises! Pure power!!!



The belly of the P-47....



I think Paul Allen owns this P-51. Gorgeous bird. WANT!!!!!



An F/18 Superhornet stopped by to show off the latest and greatest that the Navy has to offer. This pilot was not to be outdone by the Blue Angels and he put on a show. The guy sucked down a ton of g's during his demo.



T-38's do a fly by. Good "training".



Fat Albert likes to start things off for the Blue Angel crew....



One of my favorite shots of the day was the first initial solo that rushed over the house. A lucky shot.....



The Diamond shows off.



Diamond w/smoke.



Diamond flyby.



A solo whips past #6 in it's landing configuration.



"We were like, inverted!"



Diamond in landing config.



1-4 shooting past us with smoke.



It's tough to a get a good shot of a high speed solo....



All 6.....



Another solo that woooooshed by at some high rate of speed.....



Another attempt at #2....



Their last pass.....



Never seen or heard of an A-25 until this day. Neat looking plane and the sound of those two engines was cool.



Big. Beefy. C-17

nice work Parker, you have now decided for me

I did stand out on the porch and watch them fly by a few times yesterday, but I kinda agree with FP on this one, it is one gigantic fuckin expensive and unnecessary recruiting tool.

Fish on...

Todd

Those were pretty good shots! No matter how many times I've seen them, I am still in awe.

GO NAVY !

It must be tough for FP. As miserable as he describes things I'm surprised he dosent just jump off the Tacoma Narrows and end it all. If it bothers ya FP go ahead and get the IRS on the phone and tell them I will pay for your portion of the airshow cost. Believe it or not, loud, shiny, flying things are in fact very cool.

Dark.

Side.

Fish pics go on the front side.

Hope this helps.

FP, you need to hire Dans to run the camera...being so short, he could get some crazy angles. :>)

Your loss, bro.

Oh I get it.

Short jokes .

Very clever.

lol FP aint no Kobe either....

Only person that seems to give a damn is you, FP.

216,000 second post lag coming up!

what model is that Parker?

right now im looking at the Nikon D3100, i can get lenses (including a 650-2600 telephoto) for fairly cheap (coupld hundred bucks)... and its a 14.2 MP... im thinking the problem im having with the one i have is one, its cheap, and 2, its not a very wide angle camera so i miss stuff... ive always wanted a DSLR camera, not a wannabe like the one i have (its nice for close up stuff)...

Goddamn you, FP.

I really don't need another son that I don't want right now, Redhook.....

Kinda tough to ban someone who's just going to come back on a spoofed IP# and an email address. Besides, I wouldn't want to give you that satisfaction. That's too easy.

So, how about I just limit your posts to once a week? Once a month? Once a year? Your call on that one.

You really won't be missed here. You're welcome to leave and never come back.

what the hell did i do FP? kinda out of the backfield...

Parker now thinks he owns this site? lmao

Please share the story on having the sheriff called, this could be good!

I'm feeling quite picked on, and wish I had an effective way to lash out.

Pay back for all of the "fuc king goat" replies. :>)

So this is what it boils down to.........

Hey redhook, someone is looking out for you.

i dont need any help from anyone... if you cant tell, i defend my self quite "vocally" on my own...

i do however have lots of friends, maybe you will be one to someday Dan ...

alright Parker, seriously, what model Cannon? MP?

I'm just funnin' on ya.

lol, did you just read what you posted Marsha?

lol

I'm out.

EWWWWWW

Let me know whose house that is.

I want to be there when the pizzas show up.

I'm in Shelton once in a while.

If I've been banned, they haven't notified me yet.

Maybe that's their plan..............

Sure they deliver.

Only on Cota Street, though.

What the hell?

A place like that out at Spencer Lake? They have quiche on the menu.

Jeez.............I've been away for a long time.

I'm going.

Nooo...


You obviously need to buy a gun FP. Posting pictures of those is generally socially acceptable while your suggestions are... ahh... GAY?


For a smart guy you somehow mistakenly came to the conclusion that trolling Redhook and trolling Parker is the same thing. He is titled The Chosen One for a reason and your choices here could be potentially final. I value your pointless and mostly non-fishing contributions and would be disappointed to see you go.


Parker's posts, on the other hand, are often fishing related and always interesting and he should post more like he used to years ago.


This was a better place then.

Some think that being banned from PP is a badge of stupidity to be worn proudly.

Nice pics

It must be comforting to Odd that there is another on site
just as cerebrally Fubar'd as he is. They are probably just jealous
cause no branch of the Armed Forces would touch them with a
long pole in their current throes.

Expert on being touched by long poles are you?

Hi peckerhead, I've missed your inane insults. They were always good
for a laugh.

Is that since Polly took her crack-er somewhere else?
Did someone run out of songs and dances?
