my trusty steed... same plane i solo'ed in
this what a plane built in the 60's with 5000+ hours on it looks like.. it's been around the block 
taxi'ing.. national guard f16's... nothing better than seeing these bad boys take off at night with full afterburner
business jets.. lifestyles of the rich and famous
some general aviation aircraft.. lifestyles of the not so rich and not so famous 
couple of helos
southwest 737... watch out for jet blast
looking back at the tower
taking off from 11L and looking over at the freight terminal
raytheon
???
turning out on heading and pitching for best rate of climb
looking out to the right you see the maintenance hangars
looking back on 11L and 11R and the main terminal
oh look, it's just me
looking out over A mountain and north to Oro Valley
still climbing
big hole in the ground
waterskiing??
eight thousand, six hundred feet
bout 8 deg. C
no one back there either
beautiful morning to fly

random mountain

more holes in the ground

I would have to disagree... F-15s taking off full burner at night provides TWICE the light show

The pic with the three question marks that has the six white tanks is also Raytheon btw.
Cool pics man. Always wanted to fly in a small plane. I was offered by a friend out in San Diego but they ended up grounding all small planes for a high wind advisory or something.

Even better, F-111's. Not only the light show but an absolute deafening roar.
Anyone here ever seen an pair of F-111's doing a dump-and- burn? HOLY CRAP!

No doubt F4's are loud, those GE J79's in the Phantom II's are loud muthas.

you know what gets me is they still fly the F4 for airshows and stuff, but when they retired the F14, they said they were making them ALL non operational.
 RIP tomcat.
