Check out the big ass NUC button. this is left over from the cold war era, and now only the B-52 carries nukes.

Please tell me this wasn't just some random kid you took a picture of. :lol

Ummmm...Wow...Great pics...I bet those engines are loud...

Thanks for sharing :)

The B1 Bone. 3 hours under this sucka to get inside and talk to the cap'n.
15 years from concept to first flight in 1984.

The original concept and those first prototypes flew 10 years before that as the B-1A. It was then canceled and had its mission changed a few times before it was redeveloped as the B-1B and flew again in 1984. The B-1B is a much better plane but it doesn't have the top speed the B-1A did. Either way all the planes are cool as hell. If I were President instead of hanging out at a ranch or playing golf I'd probably get a pilot's license and be taking check rides in just about everything in the arsenal for relaxation. Nice work on the pictures.

The fuck dude? You should've taken some pictures while you were there...

[Hydrant]

Badass pics.

You don't get a good scale as to how big those planes really are until there are humans to compare them to.

[Inferno]

I think the B1B is my fave right now, cool pics

playing with the SLR, not like "film" is expensive...

playing with the SLR, not like "film" is expensive...

That's the best part of course, but do remember that the shutter has a finite life span. How many did you end up taking? I took something like 500 shots at the last airshow I went to this year. Have you picked a hot shoe flash up yet?

[AquaPython]

this maybe a noob Q, but the shutter is in the lens and not the body right? this is the stock lens, but i plan on getting some different ones. You are actually looking at almost all the pics i took. there are not a lot of action shots i wasted multi drive on...

The shutter is in the camera body, its is what opens and allows light to the sensor. You control how fast it opens and closes. It cannot be replaced. I think Nikon claims all their DSLRs get 100,000 shutter snaps at least. I could be off on that number though.

Aperture is the "hole" in the lens that allows light in. You control the size of the hole, which also affects what is in focus and out of focus.

[AquaPython]

no worries, after 100,000 shots, I will get a new camera.

[Kaneman]

Right on. And for the record I have about 150k on my D70....and that's after leaving it outside in a heavy rainstorm overnight 3 years ago. Very tough cameras.

[tallywacker]

B-1B is my favorite aircraft.
