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 . . .
