So we were able to launch our normal Saturday breakfast flight from LXT to K81. After that a buddy of ours with a L-39 Albatross wanted to do some formation flying with us. BeeGee rounded up someone with a big time Camera and here is what we captured on film:

We did not get any shots of BeeGee's plane since he was carrying the photographer. It was a lot of fun, especially since we had to run 180-190 knots to keep the jet flying.
We did shoot a set of pictures where the Jet did not have the speed brakes deployed, but I guess they did not turn out as well.
