greyflash said:The C5 is a whopper Patrick and you have captured it well. I would emagine that this was on the approach; i.e., throttled back vs. taking off under full throttle. Nice image.

Those things amaze me. I understand the principles of flight, but I still find it hard to believe they can fly. A great shot BTW.

Gale said:Great image Patrick,
that is one huge bumble bee. C5A I believe....
They fly out of Patrick Air Force base here.
If I were to stop to photo now, I would be arrested.
Gilles said:I had the change once at an airshow to clim the C5 stairs to go to the upper level, You have the space for the pilots and behind you can sit about 60 peoples, just after we climb back down they close the stairs so nobody could go up. That plane was parked on asphalt and when they left that airbase they had to use tractor to pull the airplane from there because of the weigh, it had sink in the asphalt.

A very nice capture of that steal bird. I think that the angle of the shot is very good, nice dimension. I have never photographed any planes that close I think it has to be really great and lots of fun doing that. So, what about shooting the departure of a F14-Tomcat on a carrierLet those afterburners spit it out !!!
Love the picture a lot !
Kind Regards
