Military Aircraft: airshows, operational, whatever, lets see what you have!

F-105 Wild Weasels on the flight line at Korat RTAFB in 1972. Scanned from a 35mm slide and cleaned up in photoshop. I believe these are G models with AGM-78's on the wing hardpoints.

Thanks Click! Hope to have some of the Vulcan and Chinook (albeit with cloudy skies) to post some time next week, but for now I'm off on holiday for some landscape shooting :)

Fantastic shot of the Corsair Keith! Such a unique looking aircraft.

I find ISO noise a real problem with the 7D, nearly always fixable in PP, but it still makes me yearn for a 7DII, or preferably, a 5DIII. So much money to spend though, even with a grey import :(

Roo,
Nice shots.
The second one, though, looks like it is about to dump its load of arsenal! Pretty scary!

Thanks! :) Well I'd probably dump the bellyful of bombs too if I had to fly all the way from Guam to Melbourne, do 2 flypasts and then have to fly all the way back without stopping for a cold one! Luckily for us they weren't carrying any ordinance. ;D

Thank you dhr90. I still shoot with my 7D when I need the extra reach. I never shoot above ISO 400- which is rare in itself. One thing I have found is the noise gets worse as heat builds up in the body. Keep LCD use at the minimum and try to keep it shaded as much as possible.

Hi Alangeli.
Some very nice shots, great backdrop to them.
I do have a question, are you using DxO Clearview, I found it gave the same type of halo around my aircraft in cloud shots as some of yours exhibit, I redid some of mine several times until I worked out what effect was causing it.
Please don't take this as criticism, I'm not that good at this myself, just trying to offer information.

Cheers, Graham.
