THis is one extreme shot you show us here, James, the speed-feeling is awesome and I almost can't belive that you didn't use any PS. You certainly where at the right place at the right time. Keep clicking ;o)
Best regards, Thomas.

Phenomenal capture. Good color, good focus for something moving that quickly. ( I have tried to take pictures of the Blue Angels in flight) I am particularly impressed with the great sense of motion conveyed in the air breaking over the engines. WOW! -Paul

This is a fantastic shot! You did a very nice job capturing the moment, especially considering how fast it must have been going.

Never seen this type of vapour before on an aircraft. The flowing effect suggests a slow shutter speed that can produce a similar effect on moving water, but that's abviously impossible in this case. A very unusual and interesting effect for which I can't think of an explanation.
