Great pix. I love that you captured the condensation as it bleeds of the leading edges.

very very nice. Just one question - autofocus on servo?

spud159,

Used autofocus (used all 7 points) on AI servo and used custom function 4-3 (* button for AF). First time I have tried this worked very well, had found on various forums that this method of AF is the best for action shots.

What's wrong with the Tornado...A little "gassy"?

EDIT: Errr, I mean F111...

Those are some AWESOME pics. Being an aircraft buff myself I really enjoy pics like that. The F-15 climbing with burners lit is great. That's my favorite plane. The F-111 in burner with fuel dumps open, what a great shot. I have heard of them doing that, but never seen it. Post some more if you have them.

Todd,

By "gassey" do you mean the flames, if you do this is a 'dump and burn'.
Excess fuel is dumped and ignited by engines when in afterburners.
