Viper Pilot

I took this photograph at the Tyndall A.F.B. end of runway

immediately prior to take off during COMBAT ARCHER 02-02. I was very

lucky with the reflections in the canopy. The reflections

block/cause a wonderful view of the pilot's face.

--circular polarizer prevented the unwanted reflections?

This is a great shot, excellent framing see if you can get a copy of this to the pilot, I bet it'd take pride of place in his home. Well Done.

the framing is just to make you wonder if he's flying or just talking to the mechanic, i like that.

The reflections here are well minimized to give it an earthy feel. I've spent many days on the flightline with this aircraft and your photo brought back the feeling of the heat, thunder, and power of this baby - great shot.

a little dark, otherwise sweet.

Really cool!!
