Had the great opportunity to fly with the Ohio ANG yesterday and have A-10s as trade, here are a couple of shots.









Neil

First of all....










YOU SUCK! Gawd, I'd love to have that opportunity.

Secondly, Great work. Pics are very sharp and clear. What kind of camera and lenses are you using?

Funny you should say that my mates seem to hate me as well at the moment. One won't even reply when I send him the shots.

I was using a Canon 20 and 30D with a Canon 10 -22mm also the main one was 24-105mm.


Neil

WOW, I use a Canon 20D and have that same 10-22mm. I love that lens to death. I've done a good bit of scenic work with it both in Wyoming and Antarctica. I also like to use a 70-300mm IS. Amazing the difference an IS lens can make. About the only thing I'm not wild about the Canon 20-30-40-50D's is that they still have that annoying 1.6X focal length factor. I'd love to see them get the 1:1 focal length into our level of camera. I just can't justify the cost of a 5D. The wife would have my A$$ on a spit.

If you're interested, I've got some of my stuff here: http://s64.photobucket.com/albums/h187/Ice-Pirate/
The first page is a bunch of emoticons for the boards, but if you pick the different albums to the left you'll see the pics.

Again bro, keep up the great work. I'll look forward to seeing more as HS continues.

Nice work Neil....I hate you also!

I hate you, too. But since you shared, not quite as much as might have been.

Neil D. You are a lucky man to get so close in action at the A-10.
I am happy that you will share your pics on this forum.
Keep going on.

Thanks for the comments, I have just got back to the UK after a month away and wishing I was out in the States again.

I haven't seen so many A-10s in a short space of time since the Bentwaters, Alconbury and Woodbridge days.
