That diamond roll shot is an absolute stunner.  Looks like you tamed the challenging light fairly well out there.

Thank you Joe.
Only a handful came out with some decent light. Today was worse, reminiscent of the Luke show a few years back. Thunderbirds did not fly due to the high winds.
I also got hit with lens envy today. A nice gentleman who did not speak very good english had a Canon 200-400L. As I was drooling over it he kindly picked it up and put it in my hands... If he only knew I can be all thumbs sometimes!! Attached to it was a 1DX. What a lens is all I can say!! What english he could speak he said it was much better than the 600 that he has. I'm middle aged but haven't done anything crazy.....yet!  That setup has me thinking...LOL!

Thanks, Bill ...... I still say that 90% of good aviation grab shots are a combination of opportunity and pure luck!
