This image was captured as the Canadian Navy was doing a demonstration run over the Detroit River. People go to air shows for one thing – excitement. Seeing true professionals perform is always exciting.

Here the pilots were doing close formation runs. The sun was just poking through the clouds to illuminate the yellow paint of the planes and the smoke trails left as they flew over. When this image was captured, the pilots were banked in a turn, coming back over the Detroit skyline. It created the added bonus of looking like we were right next to them in the air. It’s a rare shot, and by far has been one of my most awarded images.
