Now I have read much about this museum and seen many pictures.. THIS is a great POV! Love it.. Love the Tomcat as well.. A very fine shot, Sig! Rob.
Excellent Sig...all these babies were built on Long Island very near where I grew up...my cousin was the assistant comptroller for this project in the mid 1960s. He took me into the Grumman plant to see the very first mock-ups still being built in jigs. I'll never forget that visit...just he, me, and partially constructed aircarft under glaring lights in the empty factory after hours. Too bad I didn't have a camera...I might have even been able to use it then...security wasn't anything then like it is now.
Magnificent POV!!! splendid!! Sandra46 & Flavia49 (we are in Prague and with only one free internet connection)
wow! love the way u capture this sig..NICE!!!
Great image! The pov you chose is perfect for this plane. Nicely done!
It is much smaller than I would have expected. Looks great in front of the buildings. It's very sleek looking too bad they stopped making them. Great shot.
Outstanding work!
