Love all of these...! :o

Love the cannon. That 4th photo with the F-16 is brilliant, along with the seventh with the four jet formation. But Why is the engine appear to be pissing in the second photo...? :-? ;D

What kind of camera do you have, and what kind of lens were you using?

The engine "pissing" as you call it, was actually a vortex of water being sucked up from the runway by the engine under reverse thrust. The aircraft was moving backwards under its own power. I had only seen photos of this on the net, and was stoked to see it happen on the port side as she stopped. the port vortex disappeared and i could see another one on the other side, and was praying it would keep going until i got the shot.

In response to your question, i have a samsung Gx-10 DSLR, and i was using either a 18-50mm lens, or a 50-500mm lens.

and in response to rottydaddys question regarding bad shots. I'll post this one as an example

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Great shots Glenn. I love the Hornet shot and the Jetstar at Sunset. I will be posting my shots later, I think everyone is sick of the sudden rush of Avalon shots.
