Yeah, awesome photos. Thanks for sharing!

I love the dual rudder design on the C17, certainly helps in those tricky situations.

That C17 can be a tricky trickster , Looks small but its huge , gets in the air and it get thrown around like a Cessna , damm the A380 .. put some more passenger seats in , extra level ... and heck any airline offering a wide ride ...oooooh weeee the airline first would require a fleet no larger than 30 .. but special seats tongue.gif

Some good shots there, the Aritrainers flew very well by the looks of things.
I remember trying to upload a photo to airliners.net that was similar to the one of the Airtrainers crossing the Hercules tail but it got rejected due to motive but maybe they have relaxed that rule so will try again as I like the photo I took but the motive issue catches me out sometimes.

Hey thanks for that, i think i need to invest in a couple of better lenses to get rid of a bit of the grain from the images, as its the only thing left that i can think of that could make the images like that.

got too love the c-17, looks so aggressive in the 8th shot, more so than the hornets!!!!! it is great fun watching them being thrown around, would prefer too be in the cockpit though, outstanding shots though
