Hi all,
So last week I traveled to Death Valley for a solo photoshoot and had a great time on the way there. As I was entering the park on a long stretch of road, I noticed two F-35 fighter jets coming the opposite direction parallel to the freeway, very low, about a few hundred feet off the ground. The second one slowed down significantly as he passed, and decided to give him a big wave (yes, they were that close). I thought it was great and had a smile on my face. But then as I continued I look into my rear view mirror, and these guys had made a ripping 180 turn and were directly above the road coming straight at me. I immediately moved over and got out as the first one absolutely buzzed the crap out of my Defender, with me waving like a kid. The first one barrel rolled before reaching my vehicle and once he passed he banked left.
After the 1st one passed, I quickly grabbed my camera to capture the second. He did a knife edge pass over the vehicle at super low altitude and continued following the first one. Anyway, what a nice highlight to this trip.

And finally some photos from the actual shoot and offroading fun.

Amazing shots and video. Thanks for sharing these. The Black looks great with the dirt accents. I like me some dirt.
