F/A 18 Hornet

I've been looking through last season's photos and found this one taken at Farnborough against a rare blue sky. I've cropped and enlarged it though, it was taken on my old K10 and Sigma 70-300 APO DG lens.

Thanks for looking,

Cracking shot

Impressive shot Rob, Judging by the blue sky it was Saturday when you where there. What did you reckon to the Vulcan then:

WOW! you caught one that had been shot down, fantastic

I really must go to an airshow, I'm getting a little jealous of all these fine shots that folk keep posting

Cliff,

The latest total from the pledges is now over £500,000 but I am not optimistic unless a last minute donor comes in similar to Sir Jack Hayward a few years ago. I think that had TVOC been managed a bit better then this situation could have been avoided...again. All very well raising the £1 million for this season but what about next year?
What is needed is a long term sponsor.

Thanks all of you for your comments BTW,

Rob

That is a great shot - I too must get to an airshow. The only aerial photography I've done is of birds and insects.

Blimey - I've just hit 30 posts and I'm a Site Veteran. I suddenly feel very old!!!

Rob, When I win the Lottery roll over I'm gonna buy the thing but yes a good sponsor is what's needed. I would hate to see it stuck in some museum never to fly again

I had what I thought was one of those fly over the house here in Spain the other day, I managed to grab one shot but it was so ruddy quick I never really stood a chance.
Looking at yours I am now wondering if I have identified mine wrongly so as you look have some knowledge of these things any chance you could tell me if it is or isnt?

Thanks.

Cropped to hell.

Oo Oo..I know that one...just can't think of it at the moment

Doh! I was wrong. yes I think it is a Hornet.

Nice vortices Rob

'Fraid I have to share your reservations about 558's future. Bu@@er the recession

Correct
