Al Udeid Flightline Fest

today we had a flightline fest here at the deid. there were several planes set up for display and tour. EOD, the army patriot folks, the fire dept, and the dirt boys (heavy equipment) also had displays set up. I took a TON of pics, but here are my favorites.

e-8 JSTARS, used for monitoring motion on the ground; friendly and foe tracking

c-17 (cargo jet) from the window of a kc-135 (aerial refueler)

c-17 detail

a shot of the b-1 taken out of the top portal of a c-17

the sweet b-1 (aka bone)

a patriot launcher (we may or may not have some of these here, i am not at liberty to say :)
