Agreed - nice subjects, well caught. Great light and sharp.
And you don't see a C17 top shot every day - my favourite :)
Thanks for posting and please share some more

Best regards,
Paul

'Gamblers' special tail & USMC KC-130 are superb low shutter-speed shots. There isn't a bad shot in your selection, great photography, great subjects, excellent PP! :thumb:
