Could be the lighting, but it looks like the canopy is missing?

Re: Are you addicted to Low flying?

I loved Tipsy Too. Had a very simple paint scheme and just looked good. Is this Chuck Hall in 83? I seem to remember him flying quite low. That year he crossed the finish and disappeared into the desert. We weren't told till later he had suffered a failure at the finish line and bellied in out in Lemmon Valley!

Re: Are you addicted to Low flying?

I only fly that low in the few seconds just before the whells touch the pavement (or grass). Sky good, ground baaaaad...
Just plain amazing shot.

Is that you in the front Randy? Way cool! When and where was this?

Re: Are you addicted to Low flying?

Yes, that's me in the front. That was about a month ago over in the Wales low fly area in the UK.

There are two or three spots in this particular area where amateur photographers gather daily to shoot military airplanes that fly through there.

The terrain is very useful to train in -- quite hilly with deep ravines, which allows us to maintain our legal minimum altitudes and still be well below the tops of the valleys.

As you can see, the photographers perch up on the hillsides which make for some impressive looking pics. What's amazing is that we're ripping by at 450 knots, and they're able to get such clear shots!! These guys are impressive.

Here are a couple links to shots different photographers took of us that particular day (I'm in tail 318, the one with the green-colored speedbrake). If you check out the rest of the forum, there are all kinds of photos like this of Eurofighters, Hawks, Tornados, Tucanos, etc.
