I Need some help. This was originally posted on page 6 of the picture gallery by schnugg. It is a supersonic fly-by past a couple of Aegis small-boys. For some reason I can't get the image to load (I'm on NMCI) and I could really use it for a brief I'm giving tomorrow for about 150 Civil Air Patrol cadets. If anyone can download the image and PM it to me, I'd greatly appreciate it as it's a perfect perspective shot.
