Nice and steady--you and the pilot. Definitely not taking off or landing, though (no landing gear down). This a P-51? Thanks for sharing! I think you could improve it by rotating it 1 or 2 degrees clock-wise.

Brian - Yes, I was standing on the center line of the runway :))

Daryl - It was not take off or landing. It was a fly-by. I falled on the ground like a pancake a second later :))

Jeremy - Thanks, I rotated it. I hope it looks better now.

No, it is not P-51. It is Polish Air Force Academy trainer aircraft PZL 130 Orlik.

I think this shot is absolutely brilliant! I'm glad you made it off the runway ;) finely ground is what you would have been if you didnt get the timing right! What in the world were you thinking about? Like I said... Brilliant. And definitely worth the enormous risk!

I would have set up the camera on a tripod and fired it remotely. This obviously was not at an active airfield as this violates half a dozen rules about this sort of thing. It's a brilliant shot, but so dangerous as to be terrifying. The possibility of a tradgedy is enormous - one little mistake . . .

But it sure is a great shot!

Wow, I just keep starring at this. It is an amazing shot. I have looked at a lot of photographers work, and liked a lot. This is the fist photo I have commented on. This image captures so much. I just can't stop looking at it. Absolutely wonderful! Well done!

The wings seem to dip and sway, the plane seems to be moving closer and the dust cloud appears to billow if I stare at this image!

The best in your 'face to face' series so far, appreciate your courage, I would not take such a risk unless going to win a $1M prize for the shot :)
