Bill,

I like them both. The Mitchell is outstanding

I hope you don't mind, but I moved this to Other Cool Shots. Your shots are definitely cool, but not exactly sports :

Good work and thanks for sharing,
Steve

Thanks for the kind words, Steve. And yeah, I can see moving the thread. I wasn't really sure where to put it in the first place myself.

Shots were taken with a 20D, a 70-200/2.8L and a 1.4TC. Made me really want a 400mm lens... Saw a guy there with a 400/5.6 prime. He spoke highly of it. Lust... lust...

Great capture......... I got to go to my first ever Air Show just a couple of weeks ago, had an absolute ball I've never see so many aircraft up close as I did that day, and I was really amazed at how Helicopters come in so many different shapes and sizes.........this what I dont understand.....why are they all so different in shape what's the best aerodynamic shape if they are all so different in shape there must not be one shape that is more dynamic than another ??? ......... this is why I'm just a clerk isn't it :lol
