I'll start the ball rolling with a few pre-processed snaps from my meagre collection.

Air Force Academy

B-52 Diamond Lil:



Chapel:





Chow Parade:



Pike's Peak

Me, drive the train?
I'd rather not if that's all the same with you:



Up we go:



End of the line:





I can see our hotel from here. In fact I can see a lot of things from here...



Thanks to Mr Random Stranger for taking this pic:



And now some behind-the-scenes glimpses...

The little chap who came to see me each morning:



A visit to the hotel by the Colorado Springs Fire Department:



US muscle x3; Charger, Mustang and NORAD Cheyenne Mountain:



Shadowmaster Ed, in the ...ummm... shadows...:



Rick, concentrating on planning the next PFG:



At one point Rick was concentrating so hard it sent my camera screwy...



Here's what the photo should have looked like:



Thanks to everyone for making this happen, you know who you are... 😃

All the best,
Paul

Love the photos Paul! I hope you put some on Facebook or I may have to heist some and relocate! 😉
Did not know you had a little visitor each morning, very cute! Love the photo of Rick lying down to get out of the shot as well!
Great chapel shot! I really wanted to go on that Cog Train, maybe next time. Probably not a good idea to take Uncle Frank to that elevation!
We did make it back to the Academy though to see the 401st BG Memorial there. It was in a beautiful setting.

Super glad you were able to join us and we shall see you in Ohio in 2013!

Ta Jean, it was a pleasure.

Those hummingbirds on the platform were the icing on the cake too. 🙂
