Hi DC10MD11,

Thanks for your photographic contributions !
It would be interesting to mention when the pictures are made, where and which direction the planes were heading....
That would make your posts even more enjoyable !

I use iso 800 because with the barlow lens you can't use iso 100 because you get a shutter time of 1/100 with iso 100
