Amazing how small the 2 SEATER mustang looks next to the F-22 | |
True story | |
Amazing how much mankind has advanced in 50 years.... imagine 50 years from now! | |
I go for the P-51. T.B. | |
Are you kidding? just to see these two together like this is awe inspiring.a perfect example of the baddest and best from the past with the baddest and best from the present. | |
Wow, that F-22 looks like it's bigger than an F-14 and those are huge! i love the contrast between the old and the very new, but it makes you wonder, what are they testing right now, the f-22 was tested in 1992! 5* this is a very crisp photo | |
"Twenty bucks says the Mustang's going to win" Great photo Adam | |
The Raptor is my favorite plane | |
I like how this picture shows the difference between old and new military tech | |
Best fighter prop with the best fighter jet | |
Wow! I never knew that the raptor is THAT big! He looks really dangerous, compared to the tiny little mustang in the front :-) Great shot! | |
Wow ... the best of two different generations | |
Great shot love the contrast between the two. | |
Two beautiful birds from two different eras. Great shot. | |
Raptor vs Mustang! | |
Preciosa | |
The p-51 is still the most gorgeous fighter to ever grace the skies... | |
Great comparison... Perfect moment ! 5* from me | |
I'm thinking the Raptor won this race. :-) | |
Simply best combination of time! Love it! | |
Two of my most favorite planes especially the F-22 | |
Showing a war bird of the past and a war bird of the future, good combo! | |
A superb shot showing the huge leap in aviation technology in the past half century! It's quite amusing to notice that although the aircraft and its technology have grown in size, the space devoted to the pilot in the cockpit seems to have not! | |
Great composition and sharpness | |
Honestly, I prefer the Mustang. Anyway, nice shot 5* moroton | |
Absolutly "The Best" for each time. But I really fall in love in the old Mustang ! | |
Last 60 years airframe advance showed in this photograph | |
Great. 2 of the best aircrafts ever made. | |
Good angle on the shot shows the relative sizes of the two aircraft. Both birds are clean, too, so they're really shown off at their best. Here's a suggestion for A.net: I'd buy a poster of this shot. If y'all would share the proceeds with the photogs, everyone would win: the photogs for greater exposure on this site, A.net would get some cash, and I'd have a cool pic on the wall. How about it? | |
This is such a clear, sharp and well lit shot showing the old and the new, that still has some pretty good prop blur, and the overlap is perfect - well done. | |
This plane is good | |
Sweet light, contrast, clarity, focus and an incomparable subject matter. Would have been perfect without the writing across the center of the photo. Very distracting. | |
My husband is a pilot instructor and I'm sending him this awesome shot. M.J.Hurley Brant | |
The best plane in the 40s and the best plane now flying together wowww! | |
Two well thought out planforms, as well as beautiful to watch in flight, | |
GREAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTT !!!!! | |
Past and present. Really nice to watch. Thanks for sharing with us! | |
The P51 is obviously "the beauty" | |
One of the graetest war birds of all times next to the next generation fighter, a truly amazing picture | |
Unbeliavable!!!!just see and dream!!! | |
Both the past and the future are displayed. What a stunning Fighter. Too bad the watermark is just in the middle of it. | |
Wonderful picture!, you are right it is really a big contrast! | |
Great photo!! Amazing detail! | |
2 ultimate combat machines. | |
Just excellent! well done, congrats. | |
I was at the Sun 'n Fun airshow and actually have video footage of this heritage flight. Great shot! | |
Amazing photograph. I've been looking for one like this for many years! Next time, put the watermark at the bottom of the page . . . I'm sure many people, like me, would have it as their desktop if it weren't plopped in the middle of the pic. AMAZING work! | |
Wow what a shot!!!Amazing. | |
Very nice pic! Your right Adam planes have really changed from 50+ years ago. | |
I believe they call this evolution... | |
Five stars.... just a nice picture | |
Composition, exposure, and subject. Color is great. | |
85% of great aviation photography is being at the right place at the right time, with the right gear. 10 % is waiting for the right shot and composing it well. And 5% is sheer dumb luck. Look at how the prop has been caught at the perfect position. See how the Mustang's right wing D-Day stripes continue the line of the Raptor's strake, and how the right tailplane of the P-51 stands out in such contrast against the tail of the jet. This is a "magic" shot -Adam you should be producing this as a poster and selling it at airshows. | |
Wow, it's a great photo | |
It's amazing how even after fifty years, the P-51 still is a wonderful plane. | |
...and yet, the way we get the planes up in the air is still the same aerodynamics! They could do their homework back in the 1940s, the Mustang is still a hot machine..! This photo is spectacular. Thanx a lot! /Joz in Sweden | |
Very nice pic. Only 4 stars though, due to too much 'airliners.net' ruining the dynamics of this beautiful image. | |
I like the use of the watermark for once! | |
Awesome Shot! | |
Lovely shot Adam... beautifully executed! | |
It would be better if there were one more Tomcat! | |
Is that a twin seat Mustang? | |
Excellent picture! let's just hope those new engineering marvels never be used in a war (hint:iran)... | |
Amazing shot. It gets all the awards, #1 | |
The F-22 looks positively alien next to the P-51, but neither loses any asthetic appeal to the other. Both are beautiful, functional, deadly looking airplanes. Great capture of the contrast. | |
Wowww... top 2 planes on my list. Great shot! ***** | |
