New air Tanker at Airport - 10-01-2011, 08:44 AM

Critique: NC:

Netune Aviation Service just brought a new plane in Thursday afternoon. It's a BAe 148 rigged out as an Air Tanker to fight the wildfires. This is the first BAe 148 Neptune has used and it is the first actual job the plane has been out on. They are planning on replacing all their P2V's with these newer planes. It's a shame to see those beautiful old military planes with the radial engines be put out to pasture. Maybe I can barrow a few bucks and buy one??? Pictures were taken with my phone so they're not that great. Any suggestion on comp will be appreciated. I couldn't back up much more without getting into the taxiway.

I wonder how a low angle head on shot would look like, getting wing tip to wing tip.

Here's one from the front and one from the back. The morning sun was messing with the camera on my phone and it took about ten trys to get some that wasn't washed out looking. I'm going to take my new camera with me Tuesday when I go back to work and get some better photos, of all of them if they are still there.
