Thank you sir. It was nice to shoot something from a different angle for a change.

I posted this because of what appears to me to be a fuel leak out of the port side wing. It seems like there additionally is some discoloration on the underside of that wing. I don't see the same on the other wing.

Hey, howdy, Rich. (Wave) TYVM for the comment. This was an experiment because in a few days we'll be out for around 14 hours solid (6 AM to @ 8 - 8:30 PM) and several of those hours will be in nighttime light. On this morning, I knew that in the early dawn conditions the a/c I was clicking were beyond the legitimate reach of my glass. AND since I only shoot handheld (using a tripod and a remote shutter is the same as using PS to create fake puddles, etc. = phony photography), I also knew I wouldn't be able to use a slow shutter while panning the aircraft because it is impossible to successfully "pan" an aircraft approaching almost headon that far away (over a mile) in heavy darkness. I also knew it was approaching landing so it had to be moving toward me at at least 150 MPH (130 knots). I set the ISO and f-stop to allow a bit more light but my attempt with the CRJ was a dismal failure so for this one I kept the shutter open a tad longer and tried my darndest to hold the camera steady. I fired twelve times and this was the best of a mediocre series. In fact, even after it landed and turned off right in front of me I had to use an even slower shutter to get a crisp click. But I learned from this and that was my intent. (Thumbs up)

One way to find your equipment's reasonable limitations. Ground lights and signage are not blurred so as good as it gets.
67 Vietnam, Phouc Vihn, flew back seat of FAC and seen several F100's deliver ordinance on target. A vivid memory, looking over my left shoulder and notice an F-100 with its nose lit up from 20MM and looking off the left wing and see the ground just being torn up.

Nice shot. It has been many years, but I once worked at the FedEx hub in Indy. Even worked a flight served with MD-11s. It was an interesting experience and it is amazing how much bigger these birds are when looking UP at them from the ground. Looking out at a jet from the passenger terminal is NOT the same and it messes with the perspective.

Lovely Photo Ken! Feels like your actually there! Thanks for the background on this tail as well. I am going to have to keep on eye out for her coming in to IND.

I was near the south end of 17R just a few feet south of the 8000 foot marker (the runway is 11002 feet long), so I was roughly 6500 feet away. It was dawn light but the hills were still quite dark so arrivals were difficult to see as they were coming low over the north boundary. I tried to get this same type click with an inbound CRJ but it was too small an aircraft and the low light combined with the mile-long distance and the dark background behind the CRJ meant that it was beyond the reach of my 70-300 so I could not get a good focus on it. But this big bus was much easier to focus on so all I had to really concentrate on doing was holding the camera steady.
