    Anybody get a good look at the markings? Maybe the Canucks are making some recon flights before the invasion.

    Wow, the homeless have moved lawn furniture to the abandoned condos.



    Clever.



    Not much of a lawn, however.



    Is someone having fun with tilt-shift-esque lenses?

    Back in '99 similar thing happened to me in SF, although my vantage point was on the ground. Was in the middle of an ad briefing on the company patio in the Levi plaza when the Blue Angels weaved between the towers overhead during their practice run. Those guys have the best jobs in the world.

    Normally, jets aren't allowed to fly so low. In Detroit, however, there's no real risk of it hitting a populated area. And all those windows were broken way before we got here.

    true, a long lens will foreshorten the image a bit, but having shot my share of air shows and races, this is still a damn nice shot.

    What's your problem, Jalopnik?

    You're everyone's problem. That's because every time you go up in the air, you're unsafe. I don't like you because you're dangerous.



    That's right! Jalopnik...man. I am dangerous.

    @Dr.Danger owns the city turkeys: That should get a posthumous COTD. It's the rare comment that makes me laugh out loud.

    America: Good at Jets, really shitty at cars.


    The Navy is unhappy at the Government's purchase of so many fleet Chevy Uplanders, they decide to take their rage out at the source.


    Detroit: So shitty, pilots believe their in Iraq.


    GM tries to remind the nation of their supplying the Allies by hiring a flyover, then quickly aborts after realizing that the majority of the plane is built overseas. Epic fail.


    That's all I got. That Saab joke just stole my thunder.

    When you're government-owned, the private jets get much, much awesomer.


    There should be a T-Rex in the cockpit.

    More effective than carpet bombing, the U.S. Navy has resorted to dropping GM headquarters into cities that it wants destroyed.
