Rachel, this is AMAZING. I can't believe you were able to get that close. This is mind blowing. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
That's a lotta megapixels to allow that much zoom. - Ken Gidley
The radio said they were 200? 300? feet up over Moffat! Y'all were at the perfect spot. We couldn't see it from our house even tho we're near Oakland airport :-( - Starmama from FFHound(roid)!
Stephen & Ken, It is both a great location and a lot of pixels! my D800 is 36 megapixels plus a 300mm lens means you get to see a lot. And Starmama, they told us 200 feet up and my guess is they were right, it was really close. We didn't know where it was and then suddenly it appeared from behind Hanger 1. It was pretty awesome! - Rachel Lea Fox
Yeah BEHIND Hangar 1. Not over the runway where they had been telling us to expect it for hours. *grump* - Neal Krummell
Did hanger 1 block your view? I figure it did for a lot of people. It was poor planning on there part! - Rachel Lea Fox from iPhone
The hanger blocked my view for a bit. I was focusing on the F-16 that was over the runway, then heard the crowd and turned a bit to see it coming from behind the hanger. - Ken Gidley
That's a great shot. I watched it fly overhead at about that height from 1200 Charleston Rd, Mountain View. - Bruce Lewis
Ken, me too. I got there just in time to to stop taking photos of the F-16. I wish they had gone over the runway like they said they would. Bruce were you on the hill behind shoreline? - Rachel Lea Fox
Watched here in Sac from the top floor of a parking garage near Capitol Park. Lots of folks up there watching as well. I don't think much was accomplished in state government today. - Corinne L
