Shan Gri La and planes

The tallest building in Taiwan is:

It is right next to the campus and sometimes when I am lost on the streets of Tainan, I can get my bearings by finding this building on the skyline.

I had my most expensive meal in Tainan on the restaurant on the top floor. I could look out over my city. It was a new perspective.
As I reported before there is an airport to the south of Tainan. It is both an airport for local flights and the Taiwanese Air Force. The older F16s fly out of this airport and some weeks in Tainan it feels like the Blue Angels are in town. Even though I hear them almost everyday I have been slow on the draw to get a picture of them. Recently, I got some shots. Here's a single.

Here's two in formation.

I've tried using the zoom feature but no luck. China has 1600+ missiles pointed at Taiwan. So much for friendly relationships.

While walking the street of Tainan, I did find Shangrila, but it was closed.
