Great shots, as usual, Rob. Especially like the Flying Tiger-like shark's teeth on the prop driven trainer. I can't remember who the manufacturer of the plane is; do you know? The F-16 busting the sod in full afterburner is also nice, as is the chopper shot. Good work and thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Rob, for the ID on the T-34. Love those big ol' turbo exhaust stacks sticking out. They look almost big enough to give additional thrust (not really, of course, but they are huge.)
I really love those aircraft pics. I have never been able to do them like yours. In 1959 when I was 12, the local fair had a machine which would vend a nice color photograph of a military plane for a nickle. They were on heavy stock and I spent every cent I had on those. I still have them around somewhere. I love how those Herk's props all line up.
That crop duster is really low, can the pilot actually see the ground under him?
There are a lot of nice aircraft within easy driving distance but I just don't feel like it anymore. There are F-22s at Tyndall, F-35s at Eglin and Spectres at Hurlburt and the Blue Angels are probably grounded at Pensacola. I was talking to a guy just a day or two back and asked him if Eglin had actually ever gotten any F-35s and he said he had been watching 4 of them do touch and go's just the day before.
im really liking the last one how you caught the motion of the landing and you have the smoke coming off the tires and the background is blurred nicely in motion
Good shots, as usual, from you, Rob. The dual seat P-51 is interesting as is the two-seat ME262. I didn't know that a flyable 262 was available; obviously, it is. The B-24 and B-17 are truly nice - not only nicely restored, but also nice shot. Good work, Rob. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! There are apparently 3 flyable Me-262's...all replicas built by the Collings foundation. Messerschmitt bought one of the replicas and flies it in European shows. Someone mentioned the foundation has parts for two more!
