Very pretty.

Bubba, is this your line of work? Do you fly, sell, design or building these aircraft?

Great pics Joe!!! It was good to see their detail.

My son and I had the pleasure of seeing the Blue Angels during their last show before NAS Atlanta closed. Being next door to Lockheed, the plant types ponied up with a great rolling display with an F-22. Your first pic showed (brilliantly) that their radar-absorbing "camo paint" is actually silver, not gray. Its supposed to do that, the shift in hue, and trust me up close its extremely cool.

Just don't try to touch one. Those guys with the M4's have no sense of humor (that they are aware of). We didn't try it, either...

Pretty standard for an F-15B or F-15E.

IMHO, the finest air superiority aircraft that ever launched from a carrier.
