Another great plane excellently caught....I've seen it quite often and always wondered...is there a reason F-16 pilots taxi with their hand on the canopy frame ??...or is it just because they look damn cool doing it...think I'd go for the latter :-) (I found one of your photos on the cutting room floor, it's in my gallery for safe keeping, thanks for that :-)

Hm... glad it landed there and not on me - I hate being stung! (Pardon the pun!) Very nice photo. Looks like the pilot is trying to cool off using the canopy to deflect some air into the cockpit. I see you lent part of this photo (minus the plane) to Neil for his Mig image. Nice of you! Keep up the good work! :-)
