What's that weird thing right in front of Geico about to get run over? Loch-ness monster?..
Amazing difference in the rooster tails between the two as well. I'm guessing Geico must've been hopping a bit there? Awesome shot Jay!

The difference in rooster tails is that JBS has inboard prop rotation, and the Geico MTI has outboard rotation.

One of my all time favorites, too!

The frame in this post is a couple after the Jumbo Jets shot-
if you compare them, the roosts are starting to lay down a little in this one.

Still one of the most awesome sights I've ever witnessed-
watching it happen through the telephoto was like my own private big screen.

Thanks again, Matt!
