Moonbeam McSwine Low and FAST

Taken yesterday at the Willow Run Airshow in Belleville, Michigan. He was moving fast, but not as fast as Bob Hoover used to go in his yellow P51!

Blue Yonder...

I used a Nikon D300 and 70 - 200 f 2.8 lens with 1.4TC. Just the sort of continuous quick focus combination you need for aircraft.

I'm envious. The Mustang is nice, too!
