Photographer's Narrative

 

My team and I were waiting on the flightline for the arrival of F-22 Raptors at Butterworth, Malaysia. After waiting for a good 30 minutes, it started pouring rain so we sprinted to a shed to keep our equipment from getting wet. However, my team and I were drenched from head to toe. Once the rain stopped, we went back on the flight line and I was able to position myself to capture the image as one broke away from the formation.
