I shot these today with a D300 and 70-200 with 2.0 TC. The fire was a couple kilometers away. These pilots are amazing. This is one huge Airplane and they are just skimming the tree tops.

Very cool series. That's an old Orion P3, used by the Navy as sub chasers, they are also the planes those crazies fly into huricane walls. :)

Excellent trio of shots.

Did you share these with the folks over at "Transporation" as well? Got some plane-crazy people who'd like these as well...
