I know Mark presented some fine Raptor shots here recently, but I like mine so much I had to share.
Part of my success here was that for that display I had my hands on a Rebel, and the pilot made some very low passes, so even with a short lens I got some good 'uns.

I know this is nearly identical to Mark's shot, but mine has humans in it to show scale... Tongue

Shock diamonds, anyone?

Perhaps a glimpse of afterburner with your shock diamonds?

And today we have a special on contrails...

Best in-flight shot of my AirVenture 2007 album... looks even better in hi-res. What a noisy, mind-blowing spectacle that display was!! Wow!!

Next: part 23: very special Gooneys

Nice Sean, I was hoping to see some of the F-22, which, after AirVenture, might be my favorite aircraft....ever. Cool

I liked the F-22s look on the ground, but airborne, this thing is plain ugly.

Great shots Sean, I loved your presentation. Grin

I wish I could have seen it fly again, I am just the opposite of Bjoern, I think it looks a little weird on the ground, but just an amazing aircraft in the sky. Thanks for sharing, Mark
