Navy Reconnaissance Trainer Over Fern Ridge Wildlife Area

I have seen this Naval Reconnaissance Plane (Orion P3 sub chaser) over the Fern Ridge Wildlife Area several times, as they seem to do practice flying from the Eugene Airport. The trail of smoke indicates to me that it is under power. Is that correct? The error I made with the photo was forgetting to slow the shutter speed to add movement to the props. I had the camera set for capturing bird photos.

Nikon D500 ,Sigma 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM | C
1/1000s f/8.0 at 600.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

I love the angle you were able to capture of this beauty, Vern. It's always a pleasure to see the prop planes. :)

a compromise on the props meant a crisp capture of the plane though...sharp shooting..

Great shot of this plane, and I think the propellers are fine. We know they're moving ;-).

Neat shot Vern, almost run over by an aeroplane.

Nice shot! No, the smoke is a common feature in Turboprop engines. It's the exhaust gases, not like the Turbofans or the Pure Jet engines, where in fact they drive the plane... (this is putting it very very simply...)
