Very Nice!

Thank you both Bob and Matt, funny how bad lighting can produce some decent results at times.

LOVE IT! Great atmosphere.... It's a different plane, but reminds a scene from Top Gun. :D

I have a faint "highway to the danger zone!" playing in my head.

Sexy shot.

There's no such thing as bad light.
There are only those who can't capitalize on the light they find.

This is outstanding!

It is a very sweet lens, when doing aircraft what I have found so far there is not much room for error as far as getting your subject in the frame.... practice, practice, practice

Wonderful shot...you can feel & see the power!

Thanks

not to nitpick, but wouldnt it be piloted rather than driven? :P

Nice one.

Thanks Frank.

Technically yes , but I have heard the term "driver" quite often when referring to pilots,Catfish is probably my favorite Hornet driver or pilot whichever, if you ever get the chance to chat with him I suggest doing just that he is just one great guy .

"Driver" is slang for Pilot...

Instead of F15 Eagle Pilot, you would say "F15 'Ego' Driver"

[I'm more of a Viper guy myself...] ;)
