Great shot - looks so life like until you realize he's "bolted down" That bird better move or it will get sucked up in the plane - ha ha!

The catapult crewman looks so lifelike. I really like how you composed this image Walter with the extended arm and how it relates to the nose of the aircraft. This image really has a feeling of high energy. VVV
