~Super cool!!!~
what a beauty!! great capture!!

Not every day one gets such a close up view of such an interesting subject.
Shining shot.
Fantastic shot Great specs
Very nice mate. Super shot.
Klasse Flieger, mit sowas würde ich gerne mal mitfliegen. Bist du Pilot??? Mein Vater war Pilot, finde das so toll!!!
Impressiv: excellent capture!
Fantastic image! Excellent shot! :)
Stunning capture my friend.
OK ! had me a little confused but I think I've worked it out. The little old lady was driving her golf buggie to the next tee when this landed on the fairway.Needless to say she was not happy and began to tell the pilot exactly were to put his Flying Fortress or whatever they call them these days.Then up strode the club commitee to remonstrait with the rest of the crew.....Either that or the USAF have 'REALLY' relaxed their age restriction and dress code. One other possibility....you got a quite unique and brilliant shot of a real smart piece of kit, and a young lady who was probably equally hot...in 1940.(If she is in any way related to you I meant that in the nicest possible way :-)
Fantastic capture, Sig!!!
Impressive capture..well taken Sig! :)
SUPERB CAPTURE
Great capture!!
Great plane, worked on all off them. Nice shot.
@neiwil: I like your commentary. This is the real deal. Luke AFB had an 'open house' last weekend and this, among other aircraft, was on static display. There were oodles of people lined up to get a look at the cockpit. This particular picture was taken when they cleared the flight line of civilians. This picture was taken on Friday before the open house because I wanted to avoid the crowds.
I agree loved his comment too... Nice capture ~ reminds me of this song: Out on runway number nine, big 7-0-7 set to go And I'm stuck here in the grass with a pain that ever grows Now the liquor tasted good and the women all look fast And now there she goes my friend, she's rollin' now at last This old airport's got me down, it's no earthly good to me And I'm stuck here on the ground, as cold and drunk as I can be You can't jump a jet plane like you can a freight train So I best be on my way in the early mornin' rain
great foto.
this is cool. there a e book you may like 'God in fox hole" by Charles W. Sasser
fantastic POV and photo!!
if you see this view you were not the target! Nice shot
Drool mate! Once again, was sitting (this time lol) in Deal, Kent, England.. enjoying a quiet tea on the beachfront when suddenly appeared one of these! Flew straight over along the coast and was gone.. Obviously going to an airshow somewhere.. There is a very big USAF base in the UK...Lakenheath.. You may have heard of it recently.. The F-15 Strike Eagle that came down in Libya came from there.. (I may add it was a mechanical fault not shot down....) Great shot Sig! Rob
Superb shot that cold-war era bird. I had the honor having a part of its construction when Rockwell sold it to the military back in the early '80s. Yup - that bad SOB had every accoutrement to level a third world country into a Wal-Mart parking lot. Might makes right but at what cost?
another excellent capture sig..
JUST in case you were wondering what I would find interesting about this plane ... LOL! ... I love the swoopy bit between the fuselage and the wing where the engines are attached. It's the fluid angles ... outstanding!
Wonderful POV of the Lancer. Have not seen one from this end. Dana
Very impressive, great capture!
