Let's see your best shots! Share with us the photos that you feel are the best of your best. This isn't a board for critique, we just want to see your favorite photos. Was it the aircraft, was it the moment, was it the location, or was it a combination of everything that just came perfectly into place?

Best of the Best, I think these two would fit that category.

These photos are two of my favorites for many reasons, but mainly for everything coming together to capture these two moments. Both were from incredibly awesome experiences that I never thought I would ever have the opportunity to experience.

This one stands out for me as this was an Alaska type day in Tucson and it was one of those right place right time shots.

Definitely this one stands out as probably one of my top. While nothing about the shot was necessarily "challenging", (it was a bright sunny day in SoCal), I had been wanting to see an A380 up close ever since I first heard about the plane.

Coincidentally, the day after I got back, Airbus announced that they would be ending production of the A380s in a few years.

I keep looking at this thread, and feeling unworthy of posting anything.

Here's a couple from one of my most memorable experiences, a NASA Social at Dryden/Edwards for the Space Shuttle Endeavour back in 2012.
