    I wonder how serious he is with his mag selector off? Cool pic at any rate.

    Phillip, just maybe he was not on guard duty but on a punishment tour in the hot sun.

    Neat picture with an 03 and a 17. There is no less than 14 guys working on that one plane. Love the elevation on the hanger.

    The guy looks like he is leaning into a nice firm ocean breeze.
