As a former military man, I'm always impressed by war machines. They really do have incredible power and let's not forget that the technology that gives us these aircraft also is used in the civilian world to make our lives better.
Lovely image, esp. considering the equipment you used.
Warmest regards ~ James

So we are in the same club, ey? My T70 was also stolen along with all my lenses some years ago. I needed years to buy the lenses again for using them with the T90.
Interesting to hear that NZ doesn't have an "airforce"! A step ahead toward a more grown up humanity. Those jets are great for their aerodynamics but still they are intented for such childish purposes like battles and other "heroic achievements".
I must think now of some old TV broadcast I saw, which was about "science vs. fiction". Well, the only domain in which we are really almost at the level of Star Trek iiiiiiis: Weapons! :-(
Speaking about aerodynamics, the SU 35 is finest scientific work. It is an air balllerina! It is this that should be focused on, but instead of using the excellent aerodynamics of such jets, or the advanced engine technology, or the fantastic electronics, and many other things for civil planes, which then would also drastically reduce fuel consumption... we use them for feeding the childish needs for military "pride", power demonstration, death and destruction. Go figure...
Cheers!
Nick

Yes only 3 x optical and 5Mp on this old clunker of a camera which starts at 28 so not the best but all we had as my one had been stolen.
It might be if NZ even had an air force of fighter type jets ;-). The F111 came over from Australia for the airshow, which is based around old aircraft.

You caught that "heater"-flame on the deepest blue of the sky quite well,Dan, as also the F-111 itself. A bit of acloser zoom might give us more details of the plane itself - and perhaps also of the flame. I guess that you were already on the maximum zoom?
Even moreimpressiong I find the small condenstation regions at the tips of the wings - they show the compression conditions and thus the great load under which the whole plane is standing at exactly that moment!
Not a very "spectacular" image for most people, I guess, but if you are into physics such "light effects" at the edges of things shoe real heavy load! What a wonder that the jet doesn't simply dissolve to its parts!
BTW, any chanches for some shots of the SU 35? Look! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yDfIyNeAtE
That's no more physics of aerodynamics! That's the art of dancing on thin air!!
Cheers!

Yes Paul, it was great. They don't do fuel dumps very often at many airshows so it is lovely to watch, and nice a warm for a while.

Ha ha Keith, I had my camera stolen just before this so was using my Dad's little point and shoot, only has 3 x optical zoom and 5mp ;-). With the slow shutter I was amazed that it came out so clear.
Yes the country capital of the world is not far from there either ;-) you could stay with my parents and do some line dancing, hahahahahaha
