WOW the spectator must have a pretty huge tripod to get his camera that high up :)

Another shot for the sin bin!! ::)

Would have been better if we'd had the plane closer to the camera and not right in front of the sun.

At that speed, the plane will smash into the ground in approximately .0000000000000000000000001 seconds :'(

I thought silouetting the plane would be a nice perspective, and that was about 10 secs after t/o so I wasnt travelling That fast yet (Aussie) ;)... I doubt it will go far as the airshow theme really isnt my thing. Im just happy to participate. 8-)

I appreciate the compliments :)

I Try to shoot for realism when I can. If I were at an airshow and a blackbird did a flyby similar to the above, Id be more than satisfied! Realistically speaking, Jets usually dont do flybys much closer to the crowd that that^. Either that, or the shows Ive been to apparently were not as great as I thought. :-/

Layne, the camera man was standing on a stool on the last row of the bleechers ;) :P

I Am curious about what a "SIN BIN" is though, first time Ive heard that one. ::) :-/
