This is an excellent aviation image. I could suggest increased saturation, mid-tones lighting, and sharpened slightly to give the subject some "pop."
Added as a fav...

Well captured! It's great to even be able to see the pilot! It is real, isn't it? :-)

Great shot. Amazing clarity - even of the pilot. Good color tones and great cloudy backdrop. Were you in the plane next to them??? ;-) Bumping up.

Neat shot! I like that you can see the pilot, definitely a nice contrast to the grey sky.

could do with a contrast and sharpening boost...Ok, I want to be kind, but it lacks anything interesting. A plane smack bang in the middle of a grey sky is a little bland imho...looks like something you would see in a card collector's set...sorry :-( 5
