Really like what you have done with this one Chris.....if you don't mind, any tips on how to get that look in Photoshop, as I have never really done B&W conversions before?

Thanks Chris! I used the NIK plugin Silver Effects Pro 2 in Photoshop and added some contrast and a little structure. I shot this back lit on purposed because it really made the cockpit and nose light up nicely. Those orange lights on the ramp didn't help us much though on most of the shots.

No joke on the lights.  Even with my white balance set to tungsten, I still had to slide the temperature slider nearly all the way to the left to get anything close to natural tones.  Had to nudge the tint a bit toward magenta as well to get rid of some green that was still present after neutralizing the orange.  Much more satisfied with the results I got on this outing as opposed to our first outing with FIFI a few years back.

And I agree with ChrisM, that's a great shot.  The backlighting totally works.

Quite like this one of the T-6..
