Red and White

[Jason Grant]

Hi everyone. I have spent the last couple of years re-editing many of my USA digital images. As it's nearly Christmas, I thought I would share just a few of my red (orange) and white collection from the last 15 years.

My very first digital picture taken stateside was of this T-2C Buckeye outside Grissom Air Museum back in 2008. A delayed flight into Chicago meant a late arrival at the museum, it was closed when we got there but I managed to get this image curtesy of a quiet road and positioned headlights off the hire car.

Plenty on show at Cleveland Air Show 2008. Still one of my favourite shows in the USA.

NAS Whiting Field 2009. This place has to be seen to be believed. So many aircraft flying, even the old T-34C was still being used for basic flight training.

Well! They are a bit different, excellent selection of airframes, really enjoyed these.

Lovely!!. Always seemed to be lovely weather in the States. Was pleased to see you caught the Greyhound in the air!!. Despite quite a few visits to the States, I never saw one in flight, until, at my village near Bury St. Edmunds, two flew over low from Mildenhall to Stansted! about 3 years ago!. Seen at last!!.
