Some truly amazing examples of the photographic art there. I can't imagine how some of them were taken unless from a vid of the event.

That ain't no Russkie it's a English Electric Lightning crashing not a million miles from where I'm writing this.

The story behind that photo is here: http://fearoflanding.com/photography/the-story-behind-an-unbelievable-photograph/ It's an interesting read.

Anyway, I enjoyed the photos linked in the original post.

Great link, thanks very much.  I like the battleship pic where you can see from the "wake" lines that the blast is driving it sideways.
