St. Joseph
Felix and Seventh Jazzed

A colorful mural of Jazz greats from the area adorns brightens up Coleman Hawkins Park located at the corner of Felix and Seventh streets in downtown St. Joseph, Missouri.
I used fish-eye lens to achieve the curved effect. I think it adds a unique perspective to the urban atmosphere.
The vibrant colors on the wall feature saxophone jazz legend Coleman Hawkins, Blues favorite Bugsy Maugh, well-known musical artist Jeff Luxa, a musical father and son duo Larry and Lin Buck, and Steve Walsh who is known for singing lead with the group Kansas.

Joined at the Hip

Four Thunderbirds F-16 fighter jets fly in a tight formation against a backdrop of blue sky and white clouds. The Thunderbirds, a flight demonstration unit of the United States Air Force, were performing at the Sound of Speed Airshow at Rosecrans Memorial Airport in St. Joseph, Missouri.

Close Formation

In the air or on the ground, the United States Air Force Thunderbirds are impressive. Not only do they fly with precision, they park with precision too. (I’ll post a photo of them flying sometime soon.)
In this image the Thunderbird’s F-16 fighters are parked on the tarmac at Rosecrans Memorial Airport in St. Joseph, MO where later in the day they will be the featured performers at the Sound of Speed Airshow.

Air Show Wall of Fire

The “wall of fire” provided a dramatic backdrop to the Thunderbird’s F-16C Fighting Falcons at the Sound of Speed Airshow at Rosecrans Memorial Airport in St. Joseph, MO.
Tora, Tora, Tora – a reenactment of the bombing of Pearl Harbor – uses pyrotechnics to simulate the dropping of bombs from vintage warbirds and the wall of fire is their finale.
The Unite States Air Force air demonstration squadron Thunderbird jets are parked on the tarmac awaiting their part in the airshow. Notice the Thunderbird’s crew member who is kneeling to take a photo of this cool (or should I say, HOT!) moment.
