Tags on the Flickr Map are a great source of inspiration on what events people are capturing in the Flickrverse. Heather caught the thunderinthedesert tag in the southwest United States, and as she knew I was one of the resident aviation geeks in the office, she pointed it out to me. This was a recent air show at Luke Air Force Base near Glendale, Arizona, where the clear crisp skies of desert air and classic aircraft go together well. Enjoy!
