sorry for the repost. the links for my photos went bad when I organized my account.... :frown:

Here is one of my favorite pictures. I didn't get a chance to speak to him as we were getting chased off the tarmac and they were getting ready to do an interview in front of the A-1. I managed to snap this pic on the fly and I hope he doesn't mind me posting it. The big yellow letters of The Proud American stands out on that dark Camo paint, this gentlemans silhouette with his bright shirt (he was smiling right before I took this photo) and if you look in the cockpit you can see a folded American flag. A pretty cool picture...


**Edit. His name tag read Bill Sparks and his shirt reads 357th Fight Squadron.
