POTW - 25th Sep., 2010...

Postby fozzie on Sat Sep 25, 2010 9:33 am

This week’s POTW comes from biggerry (Gerry)…congratulations.

I like this shot of the soon to be retired F-111 (known as ‘THE PIG’) for the following reasons: positioning of the aircraft in the frame, gives you a so much ie. the beautiful lines of the aircraft, as well as flying dirty (wheels down), and is set it off by the main focus, a glorious after burn.
