This shot was taken last year at our air show we held here at Beale AFB. These guys are moving when they come by and on this day it was family only day, so we got a real show from these guys, lots of fun for sure.

Always the glutton for punishment, I humbly submit my entry.
This picture was taken at the Watsonville Air Show in 1976 when I was attending the language school in Monterey.

ESPECIALLY when your office's firewall blocks all the pictures and you have to figure out what's the subject, based on the posts only

If you get excited over 2 F16s rubbing bellies, then you are in for an exciting night

Yes, and thanks for raising the size limit above 800 pixels. 1024p is a really good viewing size and is large enough to reveal many technical weaknesses that can't be seen at 800p.
