Great action shot, Ray. Sort of coming right at you. I nearly feel like I am on the tarmac with them.

Anja Lieder		03-Jul-2008 16:04
It looks like a giant wasp but is not nearly as elegant as a Lightning!

I was thinking Top Gun too and I see I am not alone! Cool shot even for this gal who fears planes!!!

Nice catch, and you didn't get a ticket? ;-)

is this getting ready for the extreme version of wing walking? underwing swinging? Fab capture.

Bill Paige		02-Jul-2008 20:06
AWESOME CATCH. Great shot.

laine82		02-Jul-2008 20:03
so you swing on it & if it doesn't fall open or off, then it's safe !!! Nice shot Ray.
