Thanks for looking!

Stunning set Rick. The light on the Midair Squadron is fantastic but that opening shot of the Vapour Eagle must surely be POTW!

[JohnF]

Bloody hell, what a set. Fantastic. I'd echo the comments above but also really like the Talon and the Seakings.

[Airwolfhound]

Oh yeah

[RichPittman]

Amazing Rick, that 1st shot is up there with the best ever seen

[Private Custard]

Lovely shots indeed, but that first one is an absolute belter!!

With regards to that first shot, you really need to pop over to fighter control, and enter that in the December photo contest, it'll be hilarious...........trust me, you'll see why!

[reheat module]

Another vote for No1 from this set in terms of dynamic capture, but for pure beauty the Canberra takes some shifting.

[DanBeeden]

Magnificent.

[soundbarrier]

If this is what a quarter looks like what about the whole year?

Just GREAT

[sovietjet]

Excellent set! Does that Canberra still have Avon engines??

[RickIngham]

Thank you all for the kind comments.

It was very tempting!

Do do, do it, do it!! How often do you get an opportunity like this?

Technically it should win, as it's the sharpest of the three.

[Bartek]

Yep - first Eagle is really amazing....But Sea King is also pretty nice. Fantastic set.

[LN Strike Eagle]

The first F-15 is something quite special indeed. Superb.

[emkey83]

Number one is simply brilliant Sea King and head on shot of the Canberra are stunning,too

[RickIngham]

Bartek, LN, Emkey83 - thanks for the comments. Have a good Christmas!

[foxfour]

Simply stunning set, one of the best I've seen.

[triple_ace]

Wow. Incredible clarity on those shots.

[funkygib]

Not sure how I missed this post before now
Great subject matter and really great images

[Operti]

An impressive set of awesomeness!

For a brief moment I thought the 3rd one was a Tomcat. Than I got a reality check


Best regards
