Chief homecoming! | Air Force Homecoming

Some of you might know that my husband flies the F-15E Strike Eagle for the Air Force. So, from time to time my photography post will be about military related things or photos of some sexy jets. I happen to think the F-18 is sexier than the F-15 but that's because I'm from Pensacola and have grown up seeing the blues fly all my life. I think maybe if there was an F-15E painted blue it might be sexy.. maybe I just like the paint job on the Blue Angels. OK, anyway one of the flying squadrons came home this week. They are the guys that took over for my husband when they left overseas. So yay! I only know a handful of people from this squadron but I tried to get everyone in there.

If you want to see any news coverage check it out here and here. Valerie is actually in both clips. :)

The first set of photos is the first group that came in on a tanker Wednesday and the second are the pilots and WSO's that came in yesterday. In the first the sunset was gorgeous!































Military homecomings I have found are quite difficult to shoot. There are SO many people and it goes by so quickly. It was a very neat experience not being the one who's husband is coming home.



My friend Valerie got interviewed quite a few times..
















a lot of the wives were wearing boots.. the rest were wearing totally hot green heels!


It was freezing down on the flight line! I think I may have a bit of a sore throat.. :(




















This little one was born on Wednesday!




More news for Valerie and her family :)
















I love how he couldnt stop smiling. They got married right before they deployed.






Here's Jay! I missed him.. even though I didnt get to see him too much before he left. He's a witness on out marriage certificate! :)


Of course I had to get one with Neil. He was an escort to a few of the families to the jets.


He looks happy to be home doesnt he?


Yay! Im so excited for all the families to be home
