Stunningly crisp 'close up' images ~ almost feel I could reach out and thumb a lift :D

PS What lens were they taken with?

Nice shots. We still train with the T2 here at Pensacola. About to be phased out by the T45. I didn't know they were flown at a racing school. I really like those planes for some reason. They're just cool. :)

In the last shot (Crop?) you can see that the guys are grunting to combat the effects of the G-forces... Pretty cool.

Hey Victor! Was nice meeting you at the PRS :) I had lens envy the whole time ;)

It was a blast watching the jets coming flying over the hill, the twin-engine one just owned.

Great photos!!

I can only say "They look fantastic" Ear plugs would have to be part of your gear.

These guys actually are not that loud, the loudest were the T-6's when they were going all out and the bi-planes at full out.
