Nothing like an F-15 to give you that warm and fuzzy feeling.

Works for me! ;o)

I love military aircraft. I just wish we lived close to an airbase so I could see them flying on a regular basis. I love the sound of the jet engines roaring overhead! *sigh*

Found this in one of my old cruise books, circa 1967.

A sunset from somewhere in the Western Pacific, most likely Subic Bay, PI, with the text by Commander Hershberger, our Ship's Chaplain...

I love it too. Did this in honor of my Air Force son. (though he is not a pilot)



HIGH FLIGHT

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings.
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds--and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of--wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up the long delirious, burning blue, I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or even eagle flew-
And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
The high untresspassed sanctity of space,

Put out my hand and touched the face of God.


~~~~Pilot Officer Gillespie Magee~~~~
Killed 11 December 1941



GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS!!!
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

Thanks...there was no sunrise or sunset, but plenty of white fluffy clouds. ;o)

You're welcome, in his name.

An absolutely lovely thread today Dolly. The presentation is BEAUTIFUL! And love the way you incorporated Fiddler's Sunrise/Sunset into the thread. And thanks everyone for posting such beautiful pictures. Am searching for some from my folks Michigan cottage. Hope to be back later!
