Blue Angels: Fortus Maneuver

Bet you didn't see that coming.  What in the wide world of sports is a Fortus maneuver?  It's two solo aircraft in a carrier landing configuration flying in a mirror image.  Very cool.
With Reno only a few weeks away, getting back into aircraft mode.  I may get a brief detour of a rodeo and demolition derby, complements of the county fair later this week.  I think the rodeo would be awesome.
Back to the aircraft.  This shot was from the MCAS Beaufort Air Show in April.  It is not lost on me that I've seen both the Blue Angles and the Thunderbirds in the same year.  Its been a good year.

Blue Angels Fortus Maneuver

NIKON D500 Ver.1.15/70.0-300.0 mm f/4.5-5.6

450 mm, 1/3200 sec, f/5.6, ISO 140 (Auto)

EV -1, MANUAL Mode, Size DX

I have a shot of this maneuver where both aircraft really are nose to nose.  But wouldn't you know, the sun played havoc with the image.  The more you shoot, the more chance to get a keeper.
