    I was at today's Opening Day, and here are a couple of images I caught........not the greatest, but it will do. I had my 18-200mm VR lens on my Nikon D300.

    I saw the fly-over from Flushing Meadows where I was watching the departures off of 13. They flew over exactly at 1300. Many departures flew right over CitiField, it was great for spotting and I'm sure the fans didn't mind the jet roar. As a bonus, on the way out, I met Jackie Robinsons' wife Rachel. We spoke briefly about the good old days in Brooklyn. She was charming. I guess she was being escorted to her limo.

    Nice pics Mark! Can't wait for Jones Beach next month.

    Speedbird...there wasn't much of a roar out of those T-38's. Pretty quiet IMO.

    Thanks Phil......I was between home and 1st base when they flew by, but my seats were out in left field in the upper deck.
