Nice,Took my first ride in a DC-3 going to Washington DC with my dad. Sitting in a window seat and the wing was hit by lighting, as a kid, I thought it was real cool.Got this with a RB67.... Good Job.

Nice shot with the shadow underneath and the backdrop. My guess is that it is doing about 80mph at this point or about 110 ft /sec so to freeze it as well as you have and at right angles to the camera, I'd guess about 1/350 min or even 1/500thHow close am I? Thanks

Thanks all.I don't remember what settings I used but as the RB tops out at 1/400 it can't have been faster! I know on 35mm I usually use 1/250 or so to avoid freezing the prop so it was one of the two

And they cruise slow, and they land slow!
