Default Airforce Thunderbirds
I took this last weekend at the Rockford Airfest. It's the Airforce Thunderbirds. The jet in the corner screamed in and took everyone by surprise - including myself! Thank God for 6.5 fps on the 40D!

EXIF: 1/1250 @ f/6.3, ISO 200. Canon 40D w/ Sigma 18-200 f/3.5-6.3 DC OS @ 200mm. Shot in manual.

I think this shot is very cool. great timing!

I think the jets would pop more if the sky was a bit 'bluer'
