F/A-18 Knife-Edge Pass by 


Image captured during the Open House at the Navy Dare Bombing Range near Wanchese, NC. The entire day was simply incredible, the best birthday I ever had. The F/A-18 pilots where bombing targets near a mock Iraqi City. Since they had an Open House, the tower would request that if the pilots had a little fuel to spare, if they wouldn’t mind to do a couple of extra passes for the spectators. Some of them literally put on a private airshow for us. It was awesome! Added little bonus in this shot is the commercial aircraft at high altitude visible near the 3 sensors (right side of the image).

    Great shot Andy – not sure what the blue stuff is behind the aircraft though – ours is usually grey :-)
