Desert Wings

I was flying backseat of the lead aircraft, a T-38A, over the Mojave Desert while performing a "Missing Man" formation. The ceremony was in honor of fallen servicemen from the Vietnam era who remains had recently been repatriated to the US. (EoD) This is an older image that I recently re-worked.

  A majestic image Jeff - I too like the way you have included the wing tip in the lower left corner, I probably would have been tempted to crop it out, it works perfectly.

  Hubby is a VietNam vet..

I wear a POW-MIA bracelet. The original bracelet is 'retired' as it became very fragile from years of wear. I had a new bracelet (stainless steel) made. The name on my bracelet..."Capt" Martin R. Scott. His remains were never recovered.

A 'moving' tribute, Jeff!!

  Jeff- The story was touching, very emotional. The picture is simply amazing as you had that birds eye view right out your windown. I am so impressed with the quality of your photography and this gorgeous look of the planes. Love the look of the ground. Beuatiful colors and incredible sharpness.
Have a great day my friend, enjoy.

  Thank You!

Dave - Being in Flight Test while on Active Duty with the US Air Force I flew in a lot of different aircraft over the years. This being a Missing Man Formation mission made this one very special! It was a thrill every time that I "Strapped In" - I miss those days! Jeff
