COOL SHOT
A great action capture of this very impressive plane. It looks to be very close to the tower and the tails of the little planes but I guess it is just the perspective.
That a realy good echange in feelings genre He will be happy to receive that beauty ((5++))
Its an optical illusion nancy. The runway is on the other side of the tower.
what an awesome experience you had being there and thanks for sharing it
cool shot
Awesome indeed! I just had the chance to catch up in your gallery and oh wow! What a tremendous, beautiful variety of images. You really get around! The New Mexico ones are absolutely incredible. Lots of incredible everywhere, I should say.
Impressive capture of this beautiful warbird and a great dedication to Rob
Really nice capture and POV!
Superb capture my friend. God Bless.
Excellent capture Sig.
Now that's a 'warbird' I'd love to see fly....there's one 'static' in the USAF Museum at Duxford ('It's HAWG WILD') great nose art.I read the story of the CAF's (then Confederate Air Force)efforts to find a B-29 and FIFI's remarkable rescue.All I can say is "those guy's REALLY! wanted a B-29" Great capture of this very rare old bird. (Great dedi for Rob, I know he'll love it.)
This is spectacular. I can only guess to stand there and look at this it must be HUGE!!! I great dedi to Rob who himself gives us so many great images.
superb capture
Very nice capture on this plane.
Awesome view. I would have loved to see this one land.
fantastic image
Outstanding capture and POV of this beautiful old war bird Sig! Very nice dedication!
Great photo, very dramatic with Fifi on "short final".
Super Schnappschuss Siggi!
Splendid.
A great action picture erland
GREAT SHOT
That is a seriously big airplane. Wow. Great shot!
wow! another excellent capture sig.
Yes! Rob is amazed and would love to see this fly but I doubt very much it would make an appearance at Duxford lol Still, never say die..... Thanks Sig, a great shot and I have read of the long (very LONG) haul to get this bird back into the air when its engines started to fail... (They always were temperamental.....) They use an updated version not a WW2 example now.. But who cares! Thanks again.... Rob
You are correct on this Rob!
Brilliant shot.
