•  Comment Due to the PD status of the US military, their photos are a dime a dozen here on Commons. But this one, I think, has an amazing composition, and gives you a wonderful view of an event few people have seen - a carrier landing. In my view, this forgives the slight underexposure of the bottom of the aircraft.

•  Neutral The composition is amazing indeed, but the crop is a little tight on the left and noise as well as sharpness could be better. The fact that the aircraft is performing a carrier landing is not obvious to the naked eye. -- JovanCormac 06:43, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
  • Yes, it is. You just need to note that it has its arresting hook lowered. Airwolf (talk) 08:40, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
    • What I actually meant is "to the untrained eye". For an aviation expert like yourself it may be blatantly obvious, but everyone else will just see a bit of metal sticking out of the tail ;-) -- JovanCormac 09:43, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

•  Oppose Low quality to NASA. Too much contrast. —kallerna™ 15:04, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
  • I think you mean 'US Air Force', Kallerna. The F/A-18s NASA operates are R&D variants (HARV and X-53) and can't land on carriers... Sarcastic ShockwaveLover (talk) 21:52, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
    • Oops.. Sorry. But I think that you know what I mean. —kallerna™ 09:52, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
