Superb capture my friend. God bless.
a joke about President Reagan went this way " a reporter asked the then president after visiting Nagasaki, what he thought of it. the President replied they are okay but he prefers Panasonic!!" great capture Sid
It must be amazing to see this famous aircraft. Thanks for posting.
Great capture
Amazing shot sig ....
You got a spectacular shot of this history-making airplane.
You didn't get a picture of the rivet patterns? LOL! Oh well. I guess I'll have to go there myself. :P
excellent photograph
@auntietk: No Tara, I didn't have time lol!
The light makes it a bit mysterious.
Cool!
Shining shot.
wonderful shot of history
Nice shot of this historic aircraft.
WOW!!! They really have them packed in out there. It that is the National Air and Space Museum's collection out on route 66 - they are supposed to have a SR-71 and space shuttle on display!
Great shot and much better than the one I tried a few years back. (Bad museum lighting is to blame.)
I'm with allot of the comments here, while this is a very important aircraft and one of the best museums to visit as regard aircraft, it is without doubt terribly arranged and the lighting is awful.. This is not restricted to just here, (as regards lighting), but most I go to and have been to are no where near as bad as this shot for a clear shot.. Terrible but iconic.. Sad mate you can't get a shot. Rob
wonderful picture
