A few more from Red Flag

[Victor Archer]

These were all shot with my Canon 20D and 100-400mm IS.
Not bad for backup shots...

1/80s f/18.0 at 260.0mm iso100

1/25s f/29.0 at 150.0mm iso100 – what was I thinking???

Re: A few more from Red Flag

Victor - Somehow I KNEW you'd find a way to get some prop circles in your shots...good practice for Reno, eh? And the AB shots are very cool; obviously you aliens don't care if you're shooting primary or backup...

Nice work!

That Tornado shot is fabulous! I like the sun on the C-130 prop circles too.

The last two are really sweet, and 1/25th on jets?? Must have been going for turbine blur.

I like the last 2 as well, especially the F-16.

Re: A few more from Red Flag

Victor, you've got skillz So, how (what for) did you get access to that area between the runways? Can we expect to see some of these pictures (or maybe some that are even sweeter) in print?

No blue-tail Strike Eagles?!

I was in tail 91-0321 on Wed the 24th.

Re: A few more from Red Flag

Randy, look on Victors PBase site... looks like 98-0131 to me.

[Randy Haskin]

Re: A few more from Red Flag

Yup, it does look like 131. The red-tail jet is ours, too...we brought a mix of jets from both squadrons to The Flag.

Here are a couple non-pro shots I took today.

Was this before or after you became flaming Raptor fodder?

Re: A few more from Red Flag

Sounds like there could be a good story there.

Naah, not really. This week my squadron has been flying against the F-22s and getting the snot beat out of us regularly. This is even against ridiculous odds where "we" outnumber the Raptors by a SIGNIFICANT number.

The story there is that a 5th Generation fighter (Raptor) can easily beat up on a 4th Generation one (Strike Eagle).

I wouldn't have it any other way. Taxpayers got their money's worth with this one, regardless of what the nay-sayers want you to believe.
