GREAT WORK, KIRT. These are fantastic shots of the game.
From Ruud's return for TD to the hot dog gun, you captured the day in photos.

One word: Intensity. Look at the faces. p.s. in the interest of journalistic accuracy those "planes" are fighter jets. F-5 Freedom Fighters or F-5 Tigers.

Excellent pictures! I could be nitpicky and point out that the guy in picture #4 is a graduate student and not the director, but that would be nitpicky.

And you're right doombob. Just look at the intensity on the face of that band leader in #3. That is a serious I'm gonna kick your ass high step! :)

doombob I don't know where you get your info.
The Air Force dosen't have F-5's anymore. Those are T-38's a trainer version of the F-5. Those were very good pictures though.

It's been too long since I've been on an Air Force Base. I just pulled from memory what those looked like. Thanks for righting my wrong. I guess they stopped using those things in the midwest in the 1990s.
