One more from Fairford (cropped tight to fit within the image size limit for posting).

Awesome shot Robin. You said it was a tight crop, but how much did you have to crop? Looks like you were right in there to begin with. On the inside of the left tail it looks like there is a face that reminds me of an indian. :)

Hi graham

Yes it was pretty humid. Most of the fast jets were doing this when turning or climbing hard.

Hi Wsmith96

I processed the raw to jpeg using dxo software and selected the option for a mobile device sized jpeg, but still had to crop off some of the sky around the plane from the copy on my iPhone before it was small enough to post.

Several years ago the Blue Angels were circling over my neighborhood on their way down to the airport. I took out the 500 f/4 and the wimberly mount and set up in my driveway. A few came out ok. Nothing outstanding, but I didn't have to leave home! :)

Nice shots RBC5. I'd be happy to have them flying over my house :D

It was announced this week that the Blue Angels will be transitioning to the Supers Hornet in September next year.

Cool! Transition to the Super Hornet will be great. Since the above shots in 2007 I've transitioned to a much better camera, the 500 f/4 II, a much better computer, and much better Adobe software. Fingers crossed for another local airshow!
