Close Precision

Close flying at its best performed by the fantastic pilots of the US Navy's Blue Angels.
Number 1 in front is Flight Leader and Commanding Officer Commander Dave Koss. Number 2 next to him is Lieutenant Commander Jim Tomaszeski. Number 3 next to Jim Tomaszeski is Major Brent Stevens, and last, but not least, Number 4 is Lieutenant Rob Kurrle, Jr.
You also can see clearly how the three pilots behind there Leader are looking at there neighbors.

Best regards, Harry

Prachtig beeld....je moet mee vliegen om zo'n foto te maken

Harry Eggens Dank je Gerard.

Niet meevliegen, maar wel snel de camera mee bewegen :-)

This is what they call an optical illusion :)
I was on the field while they flew by at a speed of around 400 miles.

Groet, Harry

Harry, I am so happy to know You well back. Have You been in another plane while capturing? I ask this, because angle seems to be a bit from up to down.
It is a great and fast image. :-)
Best wishes,
Marei

Harry Eggens Thanks a lot dear Marei.

This is what they call an optical illusion. I was on the field while they flew by at a speed of around 400 miles an hour.
Because they turned there upsides a little towards the viewer it looks like I shot this from another plane.

Kindest regards and take care,

Harry

Marei Harry, many thanks for Your kind explanation.
Your work is great!
Best wishes, my dear friend.

Human made birds,their capabilities have exceeded what originally meant by wings that you always shoot,yet their wings are extremely less flexible ..
like their flight harmony.

Harry Eggens Thank you very much for you wonderful words Al.

You are so right!

Best wishes, Harry

wooooaaa BRAVO ! I learnd that close formation should not be intercepted with any airplane with the same size as the did in this photo !! some more Harry...

Harry Eggens Thank you very much Unggul. Highly appreciated!

Wise words you did wrote. You must be a pilot yourself.

Best regards, Harry

Leo Koach 12 months ago

You just hope one of them won't sneeze... Good capture :)

Harry Eggens Thanks a lot Leo.

When that would happen in a formation like this it really will end up in a great disaster.
Distance between them at the closest point is less than 2 feet!

Cheers, Harry
