Had no part in that, the aircraft illuminates it itself. Thanks for the comments.

people are posting panning on cars, panning on motorcycles, you're doing panning on planes. If you can pan a plane going 150mph, at that zoom level, that's hardcore man. Well done.

I work at the airfield on a U.S. base in Japan.

I want to shoot some of the planes that I work with so bad (C-17s, C-130s, KC-10s, KC-135s, etc). I just worked a pair of KC-135s last night.

They don't allow cameras on the flightline though....:thumbdown:

Edit: There are also Japanese F-2s, and U.S. F-16s flying all day just about every day.
