Lovely shot
But personally I think the contrast needs bumping up a bit, the blacks look a little washed out

If only they flew a pass like that for the crowds at airshows. PA474's topside is like forbidden fruit - tastes so much sweeter!
Re: Thumper Is Back!
Appreciate the comments fellas.
I have to admit I did feel a little naughty shooting her top side, but felt so good.

Understand where you're coming from but that would have to be a veeery short display line to get that amount of bank- don't forget this is during a 360 and the Lanc is surprisingly sprightly in that department!

Re: Thumper Is Back!
It's not bad I suppose.
Probably practised in the simulator first.

Magnificent first shot. The rest aren't half bad, either.

Re: Thumper Is Back! [Updated]
All are excellent images, with No. 1 my favourite. I presume Thumper is a regular at Legends and will make an appearance for me next year.
Re: Thumper Is Back! [Updated]
Love the second set and second shot close up, rather sums the aircraft up, for me..J7...
Don't say something crass, to hide your envy. Just give credit, when its applicable...
