Remark Photographer
85-0009 (cn 500-0095) "Three Pop Alpha, traffic 10 o'clock and a mile, C-5 heavy 1000' feet below you." "Yes sir, I've got him in sight and am getting the Canon out now!" Needless to say a lot of luck went into this one, I even got the top strobe going off!

Nice shot, but I hope there was a second pilot onboard serving as a safety pilot flying the airplane while you were futzing with the camera...

I think I would be in shock if I ever saw this....might shock me at first, but it would be well worth it. You're lucky you had a camera with you.

The focuss and apperture are very clear, which make the viewer feel comfortable and in detail.

Radar absorbant paint. Doesn't look to appealing but very effective in combat zone. HOOAH!!!
