Great shot. Looks like it might be flying for a while from the tanks.

Fantastic shots 5 stars

A visitor from Hungary posted Mon January 26, 2009:
The nose gear has left the ship while the main gears are still on the "ground", the picture is very detailed and clear.

A visitor from United States posted Fri January 23, 2009:
Wow, i wouldn't stand there, you could fall from the jet wash, lol, well 5* do to great angle and all it took to get that shot

A visitor from United States posted Thu January 22, 2009:
Wow! Great stop action shot!

A visitor from United States posted Fri September 19, 2008:

Great photo

A visitor from Canada posted Tue June 24, 2008:
Nice shot, great timing.

Those little blue bombs on the middle underwing pod, they look like toys on the F/A 18

A visitor from United States posted Tue May 20, 2008:
If that guy's not going fast enough in that aircraft, he will go into the drink. Nice and somewhat dangerous-looking photo.

A visitor from - posted Sun December 16, 2007:
Very spectacular, notice the 3 other f-18's in formation above getting ready to join up! -TB

A visitor from United States posted Fri September 21, 2007:
Wow! Can you have better timing than this?

A visitor from Netherlands posted Thu May 10, 2007:
This must be a good timing to take that picture. nice work!!

A visitor from United States posted Wed May 2, 2007:
Amazing photo, nice camera. That requires a lot of skill to take a picture like this.

A visitor from Australia posted Sun April 15, 2007:
I hope this guy is doing at least 150knots, or thereabout, because if he's not, he's about to have a nice swim. But - this is my 2nd best dream - the best is guiding an F18 back on deck. This pic shows there is such a fine line between a life lived to the fullest, and a life about to end! John, Melbourne (also the name of an aircraft carrier...)

A visitor from United States posted Tue April 3, 2007:
This is one of my top favorites on a-liners. I love the forced rotate on this shot...

A visitor from Colombia posted Sun March 25, 2007:
In the exactly moment!!! excellent!!

A visitor from Bosnia And Herzegovina posted Thu March 15, 2007:
Great timing, congratulations.

A visitor from Canada posted Mon February 26, 2007:
Shows off your amazing skills!

A visitor from United States posted Sun January 21, 2007:
Perfect shot... extremely fast shutter made this shot look like a carefully posed tableau. Even though it wasn't, still a great shot of a catapult launch.

A visitor from Canada posted Sun December 17, 2006:

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sat May 20, 2006:

A visitor from Turkey posted Tue May 2, 2006:

A visitor from India posted Tue April 18, 2006:

A visitor from United States posted Sun March 19, 2006:
Cannot tell for sure but looks like it was shot from the forward/port catwalk.. Many good photos taken from there and this one is exemplary.

A visitor from Australia posted Tue March 7, 2006:
Just brilliant... I would give soooo much to be able to be there for that shot

A visitor from United States posted Sat February 25, 2006:

A visitor from United States posted Sat February 4, 2006:
This is truly a beautiful photo, at the right time in the right place. Catching the aircraft right at the transition point to becoming airborne is truly amazing.

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Thu February 2, 2006:
Excellent timeing and sharpness given this machine is being launched at speed from the carrier

A visitor from United States posted Tue January 31, 2006:
Pic was taken at rt. moment,& from a dangerous place. very nice work.

A visitor from United States posted Mon January 30, 2006:

A visitor from United States posted Tue January 24, 2006:

A visitor from Canada posted Sun November 20, 2005:

A visitor from United States posted Sat November 19, 2005:
Keep these great pics coming! Anyplace on the ship to photograph planes directly above when landing or taking-off? KLNS
