Great series Chris. Especially like that top one.  Really nice light on them all.  Curious what you were shooting with.  Shots look really crisp.

Thank you Bill and Scott.
I was using a Canon 7D with the 100-400L lens. We were out there at about 7 am last week, the TUS tower worked us in for some low passes and short/steep approaches to Runway 3. I'm not sure what Canon did to my lens when I sent it at the beginning of the year for a cleaning and tune-up but I like what they did. I tend to think that the lens was lemon when I got it several years ago because my shots were all soft even in good light. Now It's like I have a new lens.
