Aviation News - November 2008

Post by Harlequin67 »

I had one of those have I been ripped off moments.

If you have the November 2008 issue of Aviation News turn to page 8 and look at the photo of the Blue Angel F-18, pulling out of the multilayer crossover section of the performance. This particular jet does this near/over the crowd. I clocked this and took a picture last year. Put it on JP.net.

Now when I saw the photo in Aviation News I thought I had been ripped off. It is very similiar. In the end I concluded that it was not a rip off. The USN photographer must have been standing in the exact spot I was, but a year later. :grin:

Also before Karl has a go at me for being a view whore I don't often get that "Bloody hell" moment very often, thought I might share with other forum members and to see if this has happened to them!
