Sojourn at Eglin Air Force Base: A Backdated Pre-set Post!

So much for auto-post and pre-set and using a device other than my own trusted laptop...

I spent nearly the past week at Eglin AFB in Florida, on a mission to be revealed at a future date. I met some amazing people, learned much, and saw some of my all-time favorite aircraft. I had planned to allow my blog to update itself automatically in my absence (via pre-set posting), but now have found that.... it didn't take. So much for technology. But why let that be an excuse to deprive you of a couple cool pics?

Herwewith, the first.

Did you see the JSF?

Sadly, no. But I *wanted* to see it. Does that count?
