Saw one take off when I was in Rapid City over the summer from Ellsworth. It was pretty surreal not knowing if he was going up just for a training exercise locally or was heading to the middle east to wreck shit. I shed a tear and told him to come back safe. SO much merica.

What’s not to love about a B-52 and North American X-15 rocket plane.
And in the one photo you can see the F-104 chase plane. Golden age.

Neat!
My dad has that same lens, I've used it on his D610, my D7200 and D7500.
The image was taken with a Nikon D500 paired with a Sigma 150-600C
At full focal length it loses some sharpness though. I tried to take some moon photos (with tripod and remote shutter release) and my older Nikkon 70-300mm gave sharper photos, even when compared at the same focal lengths.
Tamrom has a new 150-600 that came out that I've been eyeballing.
