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

Ok it's not military (although one has a variation on a Russian camo scheme) but I did an air to air shoot on the weekend. Unfortunately we only got to do a trial flight late on Friday as the wind gusted up on Saturday, which killed the plan for some more dynamic close ups on Saturday. The planes are home built (not kit!) Corby CJ-1 Starlets shot from the floor of a Cessna 182 skydive plane.

Hi Roo.
Cool shots, great opportunity to have, best laid plans of mice and men, darn weather but we can't change it! Hopefully there will be a reschedule, if not it's a good job you got such great shots from the trial run! :)

Cheers, Graham.

Cool little airplane. :) Very nice pictures, Roo. 8)

+1 for the helicopter backdrop, I'm not a big fan of helicopters but that adds so much to the story.

Just love the CF-18 Hornet 6245 image though, what a gorgeous colour scheme, and that pilot just looks like he's having a great day at the office!
