Guest Guest Posted April 25, 2005 Hi Gerry, this image is spectacular viewed in the "larger" format! The detail is super and the lighting spot on. A beautiful portrait. Link to comment
wheely 0 Posted April 25, 2005 Very impressive shot! Beautifully sharp and detailed and I think the lack of any clouds is a good thing for this shot. Well done. Link to comment
alex_kew 0 Posted April 25, 2005 Excellent shot. Would have been 7/7 except for the shadow under the canopy! Never saw one of these display in the UK, and now never will. Farewell to a legendary aircraft. Link to comment
cappoldt 0 Posted April 26, 2005 Awesome shot. That's an F-14B, with an upgraded GE engine package. I have a few Tomcats from last summer's Chicago airshow I should upload. My dad was on the design team for this jet, and it's always therefore held a special spot in my fighter affections. "The Turkey" will indeed be sorely missed, its replacement, the F/A-18E Super Hornet, ready to take command as the ocean-based interceptor for the fleet. At least that jet too is bad-ass:) Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted April 27, 2005 7/7 for your photography and for this aircraft. Deployed with these guys many times. Link to comment
pressuredbyphotons 5 Posted May 3, 2005 Great image of my favorite fighter jet. Sad to see them go, would have been great if the navy had gone forward with the Super Tomcat 21 program instead of wasting all that money on the A-12 bomber. Link to comment
