Wow, great capture. I'd like to see a little more air in front of the nose, either by less cropping or clone some in.

Amazing shot Gary. It does look like you're flying right next to him.

Great shot. I'm sure it would qualify for submission on www.airliners.net

No - on the ground - he was quite high up and banked over in a turn which gave the appearance of us being level...
