In case it's not obvious, that was a  Support BTW. - Revent^talk 17:09, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

I was suspecting it about your comment :) --The Photographer 17:15, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

•  Support Very good--Ermell (talk) 08:07, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

•  Support (and a biased vote from Sweden ) The light is such that you can see the slight curve on the wings, it looks like it is floating above the clouds, like a space shuttle. A very different take on the usual plane photos. --cart-Talk 11:07, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
•  Support --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 17:54, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
•  Moderate oppose Sorry to break the streak. But while I see this as a QI for sure, we have enough pictures of jet fighters as to consider the bar higher than this one is flying. Compare with the Luftwaffe picture below ... this is static and to me the clouds in the background are a distraction. Daniel Case (talk) 17:54, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
•  Support --Basotxerri (talk) 21:14, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
•  Oppose I don't get a sense of speed or power from this angle; no wow for me -- Thennicke (talk) 08:22, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
•  Oppose Per Daniel. Katsuhiko Tokunaga is a professional and certainly knows his craft, but I find this one a bit bland compared to some of his other works. --El Grafo (talk) 14:11, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

•  Support Nice work. It's also a pleasure having one of the most renowned aviation photographers here in Wikimedia Commons.-Dura-Ace (talk) 18:10, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
•  Support As this is an air to air picture, I think it is special. What confuses me are the Swedish national signs, as according to the exif data, the picture shall be taken in Zeltweg, Upper Styria, 2016(!) (and as far as I remember, the last Austrian Draken has flown 2005). --PtrQs (talk) 15:48, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

• PtrQs, there was an air show in Zeltweg in 2016 (AirPower Zeltweg 2016) and the Swedes participated with several planes. This photo is most probably from that show. --cart-Talk 11:41, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
  • Thank you for this info, cart. After leaving Styria 20 years ago I'm not up to date anymore .. -- PtrQs (talk) 23:14, 30 March 2017 (UTC)
