Thanks, Jim. It was a K-5 fitted with a Pentax 55-300, set to 300 (efl 450mm),
ISO200 and 1/320th at ƒ11. I had intended to buy a converter to increase the
focal length, but I was so close it would have been wasted.
Watching the 2 Mustangs reminded me strongly of that pop-art painting all those
years ago; was it by Warhol? The shape is so memorable. I do envy the owner
and pilot . . .
