Nightmare at Night - AV-8B+ Harrier II, BuNo 165579, VMA-513 Flying Nightmares

            Pretty cool that out of all the Harriers I could catch at Williams at night, I catch one from VMA-513, the Flying Nightmares (who, despite having fought in every major American war since WWII are still best-known for their night-fighter work during the Korean War).  

If I had stuck around, I could have gotten shots of the three visiting C-17s from McGuire AFB on startup and taxi off the cargo ramp.  The formation light strips on those are HUGE.  Looked really cool when I saw all three flying east in trail formation about 2 miles north of my house about an hour later.
