Great selection in some tricky conditions Chris. As you say, something for everyone!

[Skyflash]

Absolutely beautiful thread. Well done indeed.

[Airwolfhound]

Fabulous shots

[redbearing]

Great mate, lovely stuff as always!!!!

[JonoUK]

Nice one Chris some nice pockets of imagery in that collection

[Talldan76]

Great set of shots...

particularly like number 5 for some reason, and the sunset shots.

You should be very pleased with all of them though!

Lovely.Personally think the best one is the KC-10 on climb-out.
And hats off for posting the HDR/split Raw shots, I know we get lambasted for them but I like them.

Regards, Jay.

No. 11 is the highlight for me out of a very nice set.

[bigcrow]

Lovely set Chris, really liking the KC-10 climb-out...

[lynothehammer]

Stunning set of image...

[G-CVIX]

Great thread! All stunning images.

[Russ]

Really excellent, varied set. Great captures.

[Savvas]

Top quality variety! Congrats!!

[CH79]

Thanks for all the comments guy's, appreciated as ever!

58Hustler - I'm not an HDR fan really, although an occasional shot can work well. The sunset shots (which I think you are referring to) - one which allows you to see the F-15 in more detail is shutter priority +1ex. The darker shot was taken normal exposure. Just two different ways of shooting giving different results

Cheers,
Chris
