Stevie what sort of cropping do you have in these?

Thank you for the comments.

[quote]Stevie what sort of cropping do you have in these?[quote]
They all required some cropping, about 20/30%. In terms of set up I was using Nikon D3s with 600mm F4. If you were to use a cropped sensor with say a 300mm (420mm) then a 1.4 teleconverter may be suitable although the autofocus speed would suffer but might work quite nice.

Many thanks
Stevie

Number 4 is fantastic!

Those are excellent cracking shots Steve! I'm jealous that you got Tonkas flying over a fantastic bit of scenery! Been there myself,but no Tornados!

Nice set. Shot 6 does it for me.
