  Oh my what a great capture of this group of planes. I really like it. I have been waiting to see what you took at the air show. this is a little like Jeff's it could use a tad lighting. I love the blue streak coming from the one plane.

  I'm puzzled by the streak of color behind the one plane. What is it?

  Very cool capture Mike. I agree it could use a bit of levels or curves adjustment.

I'm guessing the streaks are the sun refracting off the exhaust.

Thank you Kristin. They fly very low at the air races, so this is a simple tracking shot from the pit area as they came down just beyond the runway.

Thanks Rita – here is a lighter version.

Jeff this is their smoke generator. They use red, white, and blue smoke. This shot shows it more clearly.

Thanks Dale – just added a bit of brightness.
