Great pic!We went to an airshow in the UK some time in summer and although I was initially kinda dreading it I got totally into it and absolutely fell in love with our Red Arrows, what a bunch of amazing, brave pilots! They flew a heart shape in the sky in memory of one of their lost pilots and the entire show was breathtaking, exhilarating and truly enjoyable. Looking at your pic I would imagine you felt the same about your USAF?
Indeed!! They are a lot of fun to watch!
Great shot of that pair of “mirrored” T-Birds. Curious, what was your setup for this shot?
5dMkiii and a 70-200 f/4 lens.
Thanks for stopping by!
Wow, that’s close. Impressive!
They are studs!!!
Now that’s guts (I can’t even walk and chew gum at the same time).
Awesome shot, Mr. B!
You and me both, those guys are awesome!
Love it! Great image!
God Bless You, Derrick!
thanks Lady!
wow! brilliant shot!
Many thanks!
