They say that the best camera is the one you have with you; well this was proved the other day when a C-17 was doing loops over me against a sunset background. My 7D was nowhere to be found, all I had was my A640 Powershot. :oops:

Whilst it may not be great, it is still better than nothing. ;)

Thanks for looking,

Ian.

Nice. It will fit on your wall as well as one taken with the 7D will? ;)

I'll have to disagree with you. In my opinion, that is a great shot. ;)

Thanks for sharing.

At least it was a Canon P&S (I think the best ones). Great catch!

But loops are much more impressive in a C130 than circles.

Wow guys, thanks for all the comments.

It was circling around RAF Lyneham, I guess there must have been a repatriation that day. :(
