 Song by Bruce Dickinson.

From RAW, adjusted brightness/contrast and clarity. Minimal sharpening, some noise reduction, removed one large annoying dust spot, then added the border.

This was a morning shot of a FedEx Boeing 727 turning final at Fresno's Runway 29R. The pilot was retiring, this was his last flight. He got the retiree's treatment from the local fire department: Two fire trucks arched water for him to taxi through while entering the ramp.

I'm thinking this is Bruce Dickinson - Navigate The Seas Of The Sun
It's not really heavy metal but it's a great picture... and nice music.
