    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.

    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!

    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.

    Not too familiar with all the planes but love the perspective on this one Oscar. Great timing and well done.
