Just put a "16" in front of it.  You can actually see the full BuNo in the full-size version on Flickr, it's on the side of the fuselage just under the tail.

Wow how did I miss that, too much trying to google I guess, thanks Joe

I am trying something new, both on cropping and editing.

Terrific shot of the Herc Harvey. You did a great job on the panning and getting a nice prop disc on those four engines. Is this the new 300 f/2.8L glass earning its keep 

Small side note, it appears you need to adjust/level your image just a tad.

Thanks for the comments Jeff.  I run into this problem a lot due to the angle that I'm shooting from, I try to counter it with the camera as I'm shooting.  But with a moving target I want to make sure of subject  focus and centering also.  My problem is that since I only use IPhoto in my Mac for processing, as soon as you try to straighten a picture you loose sharp focus, in either direction.  Will a program like Lightroom or Photoshop allow me to do this without ruining the focus. I have a significant number of photos that could use this fix.  Any advice would be appreciated.  Thanks,  Harvey

Lightroom will let you recrop and correct horizontal/vertical issues with ease. You don't need photoshop for that. You should download a trail version of LR4 for free and try it. I think you will like it for 90% of all your image editing work.

Thanks for the advice Jeff, I've been meaning to try something more than Iphoto for sometime now.
