very impressing.
If you were to see this sight on a battlefield it would likely be the last thing you saw as the ordnance is away and maybe about to hit you!
Fantastic shot.

Blimey Dude! You are clicking well this year! Well caught, great view of the bowels of the beast! I've yet to see one of these....yet! lol Rob
Brilliant pic.
That is cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I haven't seen one either Sig. Thanks for the look inside:) Good airshow shooting.
wow Sig - great shot!
I have seen them before, at a Luke airshow, but never one with its doors open.
We actually saw one at Nellis AFB in April 1997 while they were celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Air Force becoming a separate branch. That one was flown in by a C-5. But we also saw a static display of a SR-71 and a fly-by. They had been retired earlier but a few were kept at the Dryden Test facility at Edwards AFB for 'research'.
Outstanding capture Sig of this magnificent bird of prey!!
Tolles Foto!!!
