I FINALLY GOT IT. Since I got back into photography a few months ago, I've been trying to get a good picture of this sonuvabitch, but I always miss it. They don't usually track military test flights, but for some reason this one was, and I just happened to catch it before it landed for the day. After this shot, it flew out of sight and ended its test flight, but I got it!

Military industrial complex go brrrrrrr, but this is also used for more pleasant things, like FEMA drops and such.

Shot with a Canon Rebel T7, 300mm lens focused at 135mm, ISO 100, exposure 1/250 sec.

Man I love living under a landing pattern! Took this last month, and I'm pretty stoked at how it came out.

Took this on my evening walk, figured I'd share with the Internet \o/ Wife pointed it out, "There it is, get it get it!" I'm lucky to have such an awesome spotter by my side :)

I am America.

I am the blue sky above you.

I am the rainbow puddle in a parking lot

that you must step over.

I am your commute to work.

I am the dead dog on the side of the highway,

bloated.

I am pride,

and I am ignorance.

I am the underpaid teacher

and the kid selling weed.

I am all your faults.

I am all your dreams.

I am the man in line

not wearing a mask.

I am your lack of healthcare.

I am your uncle, your sister,

your friend.

I am America.
