Kind of a scary turn for such a big plane. Shot at 750mm? Must admit to some lens envy here....

Great close up, I love the expanse of blueness that envelopes the whole sky atmosphere in the shot.

I HAVE TO AGREE PRETTY HARRY TURN FOR A PLANE OF THIS MAGNITUDE GREAT CAPTURE AND GRAIG I TOO AM SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS OF YOUR DAD YESTERDAY WAS A FINE TRIBUTE TO WHAT LOOKS LIKE AN AMAZING MAN

750mm? So clear? GREAT work, Craig! It's a fantastic photo, catching that plane in such a turn! Bravo!

Beautiful shot. I think this is a C-17 Globemaster, not a C-5. The C-5 is bigger, has a stouter airframe, and doesn't have wingtip fins like this plane has. Nice shot, nonetheless. I have no doubt that the plane can handle such a sharply-banked turn. Otherwise the pilot wouldn't have executed that maneuver.
