The Osprey is amazing.. Wait till you see it move the propellers from the horizontal to the vertical..

Have seen it on TV obviously but as with almost everything TV just doesnt do anything justice so ill have to make sure i get to see one this year ! :)

Is #3 from a tanker? Is it still customary to "moonie" :)

[antc]

2, 3 and 5 for me.

2 - because i have never seen one of those before, they look amazing!!

3 - is just awesome, not as if you can just walk out and take a shot like that everyday.

5 - i have seen a few aviation shots of a similar style, i forget where i have seen them but planes flying through clouds i think looks pretty cool.

all the shots a nice and sharp and have good colour as well.

great work ;)

[Buttkicker]

Cheers guys
the Osprey is a pretty awesome machine.. but must add that the latest Russian mig29 gave the best display of any aircraft I have ever seen - at RIAT (Air Tattoo) last summer
doing things that should be impossible
I see on this forum that there are quite a few aircraft enthusiasts, which suits me fine... I have been into aviation for many years
and look forward to see-ing all your stuff posted in the future

Great second set!
Just looked at some of your exifs and all were shot at 280mm. What lens is that?

[oldgit]

All corking shots. :)

Buttkicker, I'm an aviation enthusiast (applied for fast jet pilot a few years ago but unfortunately I suffer from quite bad asthma so couldnt get it) but I am off to RAF Lakenheath tomorrow to do a bit of spotting. If your in the area then pop by. Will be there all day, except for lunch.

King.

Very nice! :)

Paul
yes Paul
I do drive a red Peugeot, and I have more than
likely met you at LBA

Err... Definitely NOT big buddy's with him! :D I'm usually at the cemetary when they're on 14 which is where I think we've briefly spoken before. You'd have seen me with a 350D and Sigma 50-500 (although my 350D has grown up and turned into a 30D now!)

Small world, eh?!
