Great shot for the panning challenge. Took a bit early though. You have a wonderful vantage point to take these shots from and do an excellent job.

Thanks. The F15 was flying through a dark valley. There is a gap between the hills where the sun shines through and for a couple of seconds the aircraft is lit up as in this case. I normally take an exposure reading off the side of the hill that is in the sun and leave the camera settings on manual. The trouble is if there are any clouds I have to keep checking the meter.

Excellent! This is a good sharp shot from the perfect vantage point. Getting the people on the ground so perfectly positioned was just superb timing and good fortune.

This really is an amazing photo! I wish you had posted more details. Did you take this at 400mm?

"Test Pilots School," indeed! The angle of the plane contrasted with the angle of the hillside adds a huge amount of energy and tension to this shot. Well done!
