Anyone that loves photography will appreciate the precision of this photo as the jets are probably moving at around 400 mph and you being just right to get the shot at that instant. And that is a hard formation to stay at as the ones in the S are just a little graduated degree behind the next one and staying that way to maintain the formation.

AWESOME!

Thought you would enjoy this!
It is a great photo of an Air Force training squadron flying in a never-done before "USA" formation over the control tower "Taj Mahal" (HQ building) of Randolph Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas.
Pray for all our young men and women serving our country and going into danger that we might preserve our Freedom.
And pray for wisdom for our leaders.

Wow! if that is in fact as real as it signifies, then that is incredible! I almost want to say its a hoax, but I dont want to dismiss out boys flying patterns like that and also someone snapping such a precise pic like that!

Even if it's not real, it's still pretty cool!

southerngale.... excellent picture my friend.

This just makes me want to throw my arms in the air and scream "WOO HOO you go boys and girls." This makes me proud to be an American!!! I am sure everyone of us here can relate to the feeling I am trying to express here.

I can relate to that feeling sunny shine. You just can't get your arms opened wide enough, huh?

I get the same feeling when I'm singing along with "God Bless the USA" by Lee Greenwood. I seem to be shouting in my car rather than singing. :roll: (I play that CD often)
