I was trying to get a shot of the two jets passing, but knew it would be hit or miss. I used the sequence mode and the action mode, but I should have used a faster shutter. Since I was panning with the one Jet it was sharp, but the other was going in the opposite direction thus twice as fast, the reason for the second jets being blurry. This was the best of the bunch, although I did get some others that you could at least see the other jet, none as close as this though. Hopefully I'll remember all this for next time!
Thanks for all the comments.

can't see the exif info - so this had to be a very very fast shutter speed. Excellent timing! Katherine

Holy Cow! Is this an optical illusion??
Nice shot, Mike!

Wow, Mike... that is a fabulous photo. Did you know you "got it" when you took it or was it one of those OMG moments when you saw it at home on the computer (or on the camera's monitor after taking it)?
