    Neat shots of the Talon. One kick ass piece of equipment. I have taken similar shots at Langley AFB.

    Thanks for the kind words.  I have been in for a long time (could retire next year...but having to much fun) and it never gets old watching these aircraft.  I am about to leave New Mexico and heading to northern Alaska.  What a change, going from the desert to the frozen tundra. lol  As for the question of how I shot these...not sure which info you are looking for so I will try to cover it all...Most of all the shots I took (about 250) were taken with my Canon Rebel XTI, 75-300mm f/4-5.6, 1/400 sec or faster, and the lense was set at 300mm.  The location was here at Holloman AFB, New Mexico.  We previously had the black F-117 Stealth Fighter here and are transitioning to the F-22 Raptor.  They were doing a demo for the local community and I took these shots.
