Got this Tuesday evening. Didn't have my big lens so made do with my 18/55. Blew it up and cropped it. It's the best I could do with the small lens. The tanker is a KC-135, can't tell what the trailing craft is.

Hmmm...looks like a KC-135 refueling a KC-135...

Or, perhaps it's the other way around...

The trailing plane is a little larger, I believe it may be a 747. The tail planes a low but I just can't be sure.

The fuselage on the plane, on the right, seems wider.

Tsk tsk, you broke a cardinal rule. Don't outshoot your lens. We've all done it, but you see the results it produces.

Yeah, I know, I've seen them a hundred times since the first shot and either don't have my camera or have the wrong lens. So I just said to hell with it and shot two or three. They did come out better than I thought they would but you still can't see them.

all kit has limitaions Aaron the secret is knowing that some shots aint worth trying to get Ive been to airshows and I have seen guys shooting at tiny specs in the sky and even with big lenses you know its a waste of time.
I just enjoy the view if its out of range of my gear or I have the wrong lens on.

Ok, so I went out today and shot within lens range all day even though it was not within my range. Went further up the Creeper Trail and shot trestles #38 and 39. Got a lot of exercise and a few bug bites but had a lot of fun. At first I couldn't get the green hew out of the shot until I crammed the RGB setting as far as it would go into the blue. Took a while to figure out what to do but I got like I wanted it. Hope you like.
