Thanks for the compliments everyone!

I have one more, she went around about 4 or 5 times, but as per shooting handheld at 1/80 or so, these are the only shots that made the cut!

Fantastic shots, fantastic plane; well done.

Excellent shots! I don't know if I'd have had the guts to use 1/60.

Nice shots! I was scrolling thru and saying to myself, "Man, these would look great in black and..." Awesome that you're a mind reader too! :-)

Thanks for the great comments everyone!

I usually don't. But living 10 or 15 minutes from Willow Run, I get plenty of chances to shoot the Yankee Air Museums aircraft, so if those shots didn't work out, well she always goes up every Wednesday and Friday evening starting in a few weeks throughout the summer for flex rides. And that given day she was in the pattern for 4 or 5 times around, I probably took about 150 shots of her, only had 4 or 5 keepers :lol:

fantastic. Love the B/W !!

Great captures of a Great Aircraft....:)

One Word: TASTY! ;)

Nice work sir.

[Madweasel]

Excellent shots, and great use of a slow shutter speed. Interesting to spot on the first image that the port engines are spinning faster than the starboard pair.

Very nice.:)
