All great photographs, Dennis. ; Touching a wing from a moving bike. ; Not me but you caught it perfectly.
Nice prop blur on the trainer and the P-51. ; I always get the 51C and the 51D backwards. ; The D has the bubble canopy right?
Thanks, all. ; The plane/bike shot was with the 200-400. ; I'm glad there was a one-hour limit on the loaner equipment - my arm couldn't hold that monster much longer. Michael, you are correct, the P-51D has a bubble conopy for the classic Mustang look. ; The C model has a profile similar to a P-40.
