It came too early (it's brighter at the scheduled 3:30
AM arrival time than 2:50
AM), I had mode 1 selected on my 100-400 (not the panning mode), I was half-asleep, so it was difficult to handhold, and I selected a too slow speed... still I got the shot, and though it's blurry, I'm satisfied. Fun to shoot from my garden too.Â

Also it was my first time seeing a Mustang at RKV and also my first time seeing a Mustang since Flying Legends 2003 at Duxford.
Nice pics in this thread, a bit ashamed of posting this.ÂÂ
I wasn't sure if this or the departure shot the day later was my favourite photo of the year... the other one was also lucky... I was woken up by this nice sound of the Merlin, and figured out that I had missed the takeoff I had been planning to shoot, but as the Pilatus that was also flying Bolero II had some problems with the engine, they came back, and I got a shot of them both taking off.
Give us more warbirds to RKV!
