A day out at the local RAF station today - Was kept busy by the home team and the usual DC8 which looked stunning coming around the loop (despite the torrential rain :P )

Bit of a strange day weather wise...torrential rain followed by blue skies followed by torrential rain...still, created some nice prop vortices though :)

@100mm uncropped  :o

Great shots, Mic! A huge-ass cargo DC-8 just passed low overhead, heading to Las Palmas for manteinance. Thought it was going to crash... Then I remembered all that smoke is normal in an old DC-8 :P

Great DC-8 shots. Good close ups on the unique nose.
