About I got really lucky getting this one. I just happened to turn around and saw that it was going to fly within 40 feet from me. It was on landing approach and got "waved off" for another go around.

Yeah, I wasnt completely prepared for this picture. In the finished product, it was in the deep lower left corner of the frame. I chose to crop away most of the sky in hopes of "evening" it out a little.

Really nice shot.. nice focus, and I really like the way the sidewinder stands out. Only problem is overly tight focus... you know the rule of leaving extra space at the place where the object is pointing (that + the tail is cut off). Good job.. I wish I had a chance like that.

Your comments are greatly appreciated. I am a little regretful that this picture had to be downsized, for it had some really amazing detail in its original size. Since reading all of your views, I am rather tempted to put a few more like it up, now. Once again, thank you.

Wow, excellent capture! First I thought the plane was about to land because its hook was ready, and the flaps are all way in. Infact it was a bogey and he had to prepare the approach procedure again..:) Amazing!

Beautiful shot of the Hornet, Les! Not too many people get to see them from that close!
