OUR TENTH-YEAR! Come celebrate all of the ham-fisted, ill-equipped, unprepared and totally inebriated photographers around the globe whom attempted to get that perfect aircraft photo but "Jacked It Up." We aim to provide the finest “Best of The Rest” photos, 'cause we don't use no stinkin' screeners. You send it, we post it. Click on photos to see them full size, and submissions are most welcome (if you dare). Remember, "Don't delete. Just submit your pics and repeat."

Let's All Get High.
Make that High over Los Angeles. This photo was taken on a staff trip from LGB, to WJF, and back to LGB. To save some time (and for some excitement), we pushed that weezy, old, rental Cessna 172, with three souls aboard, up to 10,500 feet to get over the Class B LAX airspace (SFC-10000).
In the above photo, looking due West, the Pacific Ocean is self-evident, the Malibu Coast is in the upper right-hand corner, LAX is dead-center, Hawthorne Airport (HHR) is at the lower left, running parallel to the 105 Freeway, and Hollywood Park is the big round thing on the lower-right, next to the smaller round thing, the former Los Angels Forum.
Back at LGB. Our creaky, old ride for the day. Captain Eric Alford on the left, with yours-truly on the right. Off to get some beers, afterwards.

It's Friday, And That Could Mean Only One Thing - Strippers!
Paint strippers, that is. This U-2 is being prepped for painting, and that means she had to take some of her clothes off.
