GR4 Tornado & C-130J Super Hercules
Fortunately I was shooting wildlife rather than landscapes at the time so I was half ready to grab these when they took me my surprise.
I was set for birds and seals against dark water (aperture priority) and metering for the whole frame (not spot) so as soon as I lifted the camera skyward at f5.6 & ISO 800 - the resulting shutter speeds were overkill at around 1/2500 which was OK to freeze the Tornado but it froze the prop movement on the Hercules.
Anyway - thought I'd put them up as I arrely photograph aircraft.
