On Wednesday, October 24, 2012, I participated in a photocall at Naval Air Facility el Centro. Before we were admitted to the base, I photographed T-45C Goshawks and F/A-18 Hornets on the approach to Runway 26. The day was sunny and quite warm. At the time I concentrated on processing the close up pictures from the side of the runway. I finally decided to process these arrival pictures.
