I really like the look of this shot Jeff.  It looks like one of the few HDR-done-right shots that you see every once in a blue moon among aviation shooters.

Thanks for the kind words Joe. While it is not a true HDR image, it has many of the same attributes. I got lucky with the light popping through the clouds at the right moment. Good light makes all the difference IMHO. I think sometimes we become so used to the glaring light and cloudless skies we typically have in AZ that we forget what good light can do for an image. Lately I've really been studying the art of making proper exposures in the camera. Jay has really mastered proper exposure - just look at his recent images for Osh. I've got a lot to learn; however, once in a while the gears mess in my brain pan and I get things to work.

Mystery Talon...  Anyone know the home base?

923 is going to Langley and will most likely be sporting an "FF" tailcode.

WE'RE GOIN' STREAKIN'!!!!

Obviously not the shot I wanted, but it still caught my eye more than the other shots I got.
