 This photo was taken at the Reno Air Races during a qualifying run. This particular aircraft "Mirage" competes in the T-6 catagory. The pilots fly their aircraft within 100 feet of the ground at spedds in excess of 230 MPH. Pretty awesome.

Reno Air Race - Nice capture but looks a little far away for the lens. Maybe leaving some more dead space on the sides or using the rule of thirds might have taken some of the distance/heat distortion away or cleared it up?

If it's air racing, maybe include who they're racing against? Or whatever path they must fly on?

I'm not normally a fan of plane shots, but this is fab. Nice lines, nice colour, nice backdrop 8
