Nice pics! I usually have a heads up from the news, but for some reason I had no clue this year & even with ear plugs in, was roused wide awake at 9:38 this AM. I was not a happy camper. I was just about to go take a nap & they are flying again, now at 3:30 this afternoon & have been for awhile. I woke up sure we were at war, then I realized it was the end of May . I'll have to try & get some pics on Wed. I really like your silhouette one, that's a bit different than the 'usual' view! Thanks for posting them.

I think they fly over Wednesday at about 12:30 PM

Last year, I got a good view from a site near Interquest and Voyager.

That's where we used to hang out and watch the show, right across from Falcon Stadium, in all the open space just off I-25 exit 153 (Interquest Pkwy). No traffic woes and some decent eateries there too.

We just saw them go past our house, so I'm guessing soon? My 4 year old was thrilled!

Thanks for posting, we had no idea what they were yesterday and a friend was visiting and thought it was a sign that Donald Trump was starting a war.

Well yes, lol, someone does always have to say it

They started at 11 this AM. I went out to watch, but it's really windy & cold, drove me back inside. Tmw s/b around 12:30 according to the news.

Awesome pictures Bullitt007! Are you using some stellar lenses to be able to get pictures that close up and clear?
