Pilatus?

Hi Vladimir

 

Yes, Pilatus P9A. In case you are interested there is a web site about the Roulettes and their aircraft - I don't think they like us to post web addresses on this site but you can find the page by Google search "Roulette PC-9/A aircraft: Royal Australian Air Force"

 

All the best

its amazing how close together the pilots can fly these planes......also great photo.

Thanks Christa. They do fly very close when in formation – their skill and level of commitment are very impressive.

 

All the best

Beautiful composition and an outstanding design through your choice of when to fire the shutter. Razor sharp imagery as well. I know this is hard to do with such fast-moving subjects as these. My only negative is the saturation and tone of the sky which seems very unreal even if it is achieved through the use of a polarizer. All in all this is a splendid series and you are to be commended for such a wonderful series of images. Thanks for sharing them with us.
