These photos were all taken from my driveway, using a Canon T3 Rebel with a 75-200mm lens. We are just off the glide path into the local Air Force Base, and on right-hand traffic, we will have planes flying low overhead.

Being an old Air Force guy, that's music to my ears, even if it does mean I can't fly my Phantom in my neighborhood.

For the case in point, the shot of the F-86 was taken pointing nearly straight up from my driveway, after some formation flying during the Heritage Flight Training weekend a couple of years ago. We had a four-plane diamond formation flying around town, with an F-22 at point, two beautifully restored F-86's at the sides, and an F-16 bringing up the rear. Once the formation split up, all four went over our house on their turn to final approach to land.

It's always great being in the right place at the correct time. In your case, you can set up and be ready... Haha
