Yowza! This just has to be one of my very favourite machines! Excellent shot! Where were you standing that you managed to get the top of the airplane as well (in the tower, I presume)? Lovely!

Nicely captured. I like the exposure as well as the composition. Now, if only I could guess who took the photo!

WOW! That has to be one of the most exciting plane shots I have seen of late. Excellent balance of light and framing.
