A visitor from Greece posted Sun November 18, 2007: Brave people on the runway you would need alot of courage... graet picture

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Mon July 9, 2007: I was there on this day and saw this, this is not a fake. The pilot was really that low. From what i remember there was a row of these ribbons forming a low 'tunnel'. This was just one of them. The people holding the ribbons were volunteers from the crowd!!

A visitor from - posted Wed June 14, 2006: COOL
A visitor from United States posted Tue June 13, 2006: To catch the plane in that attitude just as it was passing through the uprights would take EXCELLENT timing, knowledge of the camera and a GREAT DEAL of luck.
A visitor from United States posted Tue June 13, 2006: Color, sharpness, stop action, position of plane, color balance, focus of subject, frame fit.
A visitor from United States posted Tue June 13, 2006: Since I am a pilot I appreciate the difficulty-and danger- of flyimg low and upside down. Frankly, I think he's out of his gourd.
A visitor from United States posted Tue June 13, 2006: Excellent capture of the bravery and hazard to both the pilot and the pole holders. Putting the plane in focus instead of the guys on the ground echoes the concentration of the pilot, who is in absolute control of the stunt. Great timing and instinct from the photographer and amazing skill from the pilot.

A visitor from United States posted Fri June 9, 2006: The pilot is amazing! That takes talent.
A visitor from United States posted Fri June 9, 2006: Moving plane totally in focus really stands out with the slightly blurred background...this shot was technically difficult to get.
A visitor from United States posted Fri June 9, 2006: Very impressive photo, although I do prefer watching Mr. Sean D. Tucker perform the same maneuver. Knifeedge left, knifeedge right, inverted - the triple ribbon cut.

A visitor from - posted Fri June 9, 2006: Great freeze action, nice depth of field, good details on the airplane.
A visitor from - posted Fri June 9, 2006: Take a good close look at the elevator. If you draw a chord line on the wing and the horizontal stab you will find that the tendncy for this aircraft would be to go nose down (up as you are looking at it). But there appears to be some back sick pressure being applied ther and it seems he's pulling the nose even more towards the ground. There's a difference between aviating and flying. Thats flyin'!
A visitor from United States posted Fri June 9, 2006: This photo is so excellent
