By far one of the most dynamic airshow shoots I had seen in a while!

I was at the Air Show in Ramstein, Germany in 1987 when a pilot in an F-16 did a nine G bank. By the time he landed several blood vessels in his eyes had popped but he was grinning from ear to ear. The detail here is amazing though I don't know his altitude he was probably going 400 plus MPH? Excellent shot Jim.

Thanks very much David. Actually this guy krept up on me and scared the $hit out of me at about 100 feet of the deck. I estimate that he was about a half mile away and at an altitude of about 600 feet when I shot this. He was headed upstairs with his hair on fire that's for sure.
