Description

Grumman F9F-5 Panther at the Combat Air Museum, Topeka, Kansas I took a lot of shots of this Korean War vintage US Navy fighter but this single photo made the biggest visual impact upon me. Hope you like it. Really worth a ZOOM. I left this in a big file. Bill:) Links to information about the F9F-5 Panther: 1. Panther in Topeka 2. Panther wiki

I like the use of a wide angel lens - emphasises that aerodynamic nose! Great exposure too! Clive

Oh me, Bill. I'd forgotten about this design. Semi-sleek with a good visibility canopy. Thanks for the link to the Combat Air Museum for other aircraft.

Glad you picked this one Bill...very imposing shot.The tow bar gives the impression she's ready to roll.Do they still fly this?..it would be something to see (and hear).

yes a big sweeping fierce creature, like a shark (andrea), and it sits regally in its space almost as if it's primed to take off. Wonderful capture among many in your aviation series. Your angle makes its front end seem like it's poised to pounce and devour something...

Stellar POV, clarity and lighting effects in this one, Bill! Love the DOF and perspective. My brother served on a US Navy transport ship that carried these beauties to Korea during the 1950s conflict. And, if memory serves me correctly, these planes were featured in the 1954 movie, The Bridges at Toko-Ri, starring William Holden, Grace Kelly and Mickey Rooney.

Where's the Pitot tube? Did they hide it in one of those holes just to mess with me?

looks like it is ready to take to the skies again. I love seeing at one of the local air museums here when they roll one out of the hanger display area and fire one up and take off

Nice! Good one. Impressive looking view! My ones are more 'full size and much more detailed. But I haven't checked them closely yet! Ha! You have done really well. The light from the doors is NOT good for pictures! Rob.
