There is a saying . " You make your own luck " . That`s a cracking photo , I think you should definitely print it and hang it on your wall some place .

Superb flight shot Mike, top marks. It would really benefit from raising the exposure, preferably by a simple curves layer and taking some of the saturation out. I tried it and it really brings out loads more detail in what is a fantastic capture
