ID needed

[Oscar Zangroniz]

From you airplane experts H and Al. Can you tell what this is. Took this a while back at Homestead speedway, he was making passes and then must have landed at AF base.

P-3 Orion. used for maritime surveillance. it's a submarine hunter. that's what the probe at the rear of the plane is. and may i say, great shot!!!

seeing that this is a navy plane landing at an AF base, it's probably refueling? these guys are stationed at Jax NAS.

That it is and sweet view Oz !!! ... they could use that for a Navy add !!! :) btw can say now that 1/8000 will freeze props !!!!

[Fabs Forns]

Interesting plane, it reminds me of the ones I flew when I was a child :)
I'll have to trust the experts with the ID!

[Jackie Schuknecht]

Really neat freezing the props Oscar. Too bad birds aren't this co-operative.:D

[Mike Tracy]

Cool perspective and excellent post processing. Unlike Jackie above I wish for some prop blur.

Al - I don't know if it is only on my computer but I'm seeing an old image that I almost posted a while back and ditched as the thumbnail for Oscar's airplane image. It was of a tundra swan with some redheads.
