Friday Thread - Your Favorite Aviation Picture

[LegacyDriver]

You know, I realize it isn't Friday (yet) but... Was just wondering if you guys have any good pictures of aviation themes that tug your heartstrings a little?

Here's one of my two-year old daughter. I call it, "The Future of Naval Aviation".

I take hundreds of photos each month. Finding one like this is a real gem. Wish I could do this more often.

She sure loved those T-45s.

Thanks.

I also like those "TEAMWORK", "ATTITUDE", etc. motivational posters with the T-Birds and Blues, etc...

Here's an interesting Thunderbirds photo - not motivational, necessarily, but certainly eye opening! I'm sure a number of you have seen it before, though.

EDIT - great picture of your daughter.

I've seen that one before but never heard why he ejected. Was the location Davis Monthan in TUC?

He was coming out on the bottom of a loop without sufficient altitude and ejected .8/secs before impact.

It was at Mountain Home AFB, ID.

I have two video clips of the accident. One taken from the ground and one from the onboard camera. I will try and get up a link. (I see the next post has links to the videos.)

Forgot the field altitude when calculating where the top of the loop was, then ran out of room at the bottom.

Yeah that was an awesome video. You can see him honking on that stick for all he's worth then saying, "Uh oh!" BLAMMO!!!

It was not a loop, it was a Split-S.

I stand corrected. Thanks.
