GRADUATE FORMATION OVER SAN ANTONIO: A military pilot’s career has to start some place. In this photo pilots from the 8th Flying Training Squadron fly their T-6 Texans in formation during USAF Basic Military Training graduation at Lackland Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas, Nov. 8, 2019.

SOME EXTRAS: I had a computer problem during the PJMedia event in California so I didn’t post anything. Got it solved yesterday. This is a good shot of a Pave Hawk conducting a combat search and rescue demonstration. Ten days ago the U.S. Navy, the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, the Royal Australian Navy, and the Royal Canadian Navy conducted a large joint exercise in the Philippine Sea (Annual Exercise, aka ANNUALEX). Nice photo — think of it as visual diplomacy.
