Trip back to Quantico

I took a trip back to DC/Quantico recently to visit a friend that was retiring from the Marine Corps. While there, I visited the Marine Corps Museum. It's been 7 years now since I got out and I swear it feels like yesterday. Good times.

Images are kind of large, so I used links to the full size. Click for larger.

Ya the ceremony was right there. Awesome spot! I did not get a shot of it, but right as the ceremony started, a pair of bald eagles were flying over head. When we were finished, they left and the rain clouds moved in.......

It's the trial of three fighters breaking off.

The three spires impart a sense of accomplishment in command of the sky, and evoke the image of the precision “bomb burst” maneuver performed by the United States Air Force Thunderbird Demonstration Team
