IMHO the Mustang is the big boy and the others are modern crap. :)
Seriously, if they'd aksed me which one of these I'd like to fly, I'd choose the P51. But perhaps that's also why my friends have fourcilinder 120bhp+ bikes and I got myself a thumper with 50bhp. :)
Nice capure, having no experience yet with shooting airplanes (apart from some stuff with film 18 years ago) I guess it is hard to find the shutterspeed that freezes the planes at speed but still shows the motion of the propellor?

Took me a second! LOL. Fits the challenge but the image seems pretty flat to me. I know it's difficult to make the jets pop on such a solid background with no shadows but perhaps have them slightly more saturated than the sky and up the contrast? Could have played with the hues too as the jets are slightly washed out from being very similar in color to the sky.
