Air to Air... well not really ;)

Postby F3Hadlow » Fri Dec 23, 2005 7:18 am

Took these pics last month when out on a hill in Northumberland. The weather that day was 'interesting' to say the least.
Got these shots which, when I looked at them again, could almost pass for Air to Air shots. I know their not the best quality but the aircraft were a fair distance away, What you guys think?

Really cool. Add a canopy glare and it'd be legit!

The first one is a Hawker, right?

I have thought about trying air to air photography, and I realized that if you don't have the right stuff, its really suicide.
I like Paul Bowen (hes the guy who took the shot of the jet over a marine layer with the vorticies behind it.

I would LOVE to do air to air photography with military aircraft. Some of the shots you can get up there just can't be matched from ground level so yes, its a goal for me. ;D

Hawker Dominie:)



Hawker-Siddeley at that time. The Dominie is the RAF's navigational (sorry, WSO) trainer, based on the DH/HS125 biz jet...
