This photo is the first snap of 169425 to be posted into the FA photo gallery.

My deepest and most sincere Thanks go out to "Turtle," "Potty," and "Squatch" for inviting me to be out on the north ramp surrounded by the eight "Grim Reapers," "Rough Raiders," and "Vampires" F-35s.

It was a very early "wakeup, roust out, and hit the road" morning yesterday; I had to check in at Hangar 2 at 0625 hours. But there was no way I'd have ever passed up an invite like this one: an opportunity to photograph JSFs from all three of the Navy's F-35 squadrons together on one ramp! (And, a "bonus," The "Vampires" F-18 CAG colorbird, too.) I was there in the Ready Room, on the ramp for preflighting and taxiing, out at the end of runway 31R-13L as they came low overhead while taking off, and back on the ramp for recovery and postflight. A fantastic six hours!! Thank you, guys!!
