Frank, this was a great shot! I gave it a 9! The tucking wheels are a great touch.

I work for Boeing also. I do computer support in the Puget Sound Region.

That's one strange-looking aircraft. I assume you're not violating any security regulations or arms treaties...

heh as often as that bird crashes I would not want to fly in one either.. hehe I hope they work it out though... it's a great idea and something we need to perfect...... I little more shutter speed would go a long way to stop the motion even better.. but nice shot

That's what I want for my combined birthday/X-mas present. Can you get my wife a deal? It's a nice catch. Might be more interesting with a slower shutter so the props were frozen.

now that is a cool job. I wonder if the photo would have been better if u had not centered it so much...or gotten closer...or both
