I am an aviation enthusiast and this is a great capture. Well done. I like that you have preserved the detail of the jets. It is interesting to me that there seems to be more detail in the older jets ... maybe less attention to reducing drag.

nice capture - well timed - it could use a little noise reduction in the sky and some clean up of sensor dust

showing the advance in american aircraft is great. Especially when you can get it all in one picture.

You just have to love those airshow enabling photos. It is no longer PC to sit out at the airport taking pictures of planes.

Very cool to see the three planes from different eras. Great blue sky to offset them too. Well done.
