So - after takeoff, one of the crew guys that was out on the flight line, Justin, came to our van and admired my camera. So I handed it over and came home with the following fisheye shots which I think are not half bad! (Especially since I was fully working the drowned rat look from dashing around in the pouring rain for the last 2 hours.)
Note the pants soaked up to the knees, and the completely wet hair. The shirt was soaked too and I was very happy I decided to wear dark grey that day. On the left is Serena, on the right is Spider - I don't know his real name, nor do I need to. He was our wonderful driver and general go-fer that day, and I think he's just the bee's knees. Not too hard on the eyes either.
Justin (who took these pictures) was looking at me and said, "Gosh you look familiar - do I know you?"
"I don't think so.. I guess I just have a really hot Doppleganger."
Nobody else in that van knew the term Doppleganger (and yes, spelling/grammar/language afficionados, it IS supposed to have and umlaut over the a). So here's the Wikki definition for you, everyone. I love when someone uses a ten-cent word I haven't heard. What's your favorite?
One last cool shot - as the skies started clearing and you can see the F-15 to the right taking off:

My favorite 10-cent word is actually fake. It was used in an episode of Black Adder (Rowan Atkinson of Mr. Bean fame). The word is "interfrastically" as in: I await your return most interfrastically!" Black Adder wanted to annoy a man who claimed he had written a complete dictionary of the English language. So he started blurting out words to confound the man.
Oh I LOVE it!! What an amazing experience!! My favo 10cent word is discombobulated!!! It usually gets a response like what, your such a geek!! hahaha! But I just LOVE IT!! and your post for that matter!! xC
