About the Images
The images were taken with a Canon Rebel T3i. I used Canon 100mm macro lens for the images. For the images of the planes in the air or on the flight line, I set the camera to shoot at a shutter speed of 1/800. All images received simple processing in Photoshop and were saved as low-resolution JPEG images that were optimized for the Web.
