I FINALLY GOT IT. Since I got back into photography a few months ago, I’ve been trying to get a good picture of this sonuvabitch, but I always miss it. They don’t usually track military test flights, but for some reason this one was, and I just happened to catch it before it landed for the day. After this shot, it flew out of sight and ended its test flight, but I got it!
Military industrial complex go brrrrrrr, but this is also used for more pleasant things, like FEMA drops and such.
Shot with a Canon Rebel T7, 300mm lens focused at 135mm, ISO 100, exposure 1/250 sec.
