this is a great pic, I find it weird, that this image can get so many views without a comment...

Very cool shot. I've seen a lot of air-to-air but this one gives such a great sense of presence with the shooter in the frame.

Very good image and something completely different for a change. I like the bit of dangerous factor to this. Well done on a very good picture. Hope we see more of this :-)

Hey I'm just trying to figure out how you got such a great shot, with the 800th of a second, and that fstop, with such a low ISO...it looks so dark.
Was there a lot of light originally? Just trying to figure it out, thanks.

Thanks for the kind words shaynej, keruili, bezuidar, ajzimmerman. Much appreciated. I am sorry I didn't respond any sooner, but I hardly ever check up on this part of the forum, and usually am mostly a follower on other parts. :-)

@ajzimmerman:
It's hard to recollect the exact circumstances, as it's been over a year ago I took this shot. But, judging from the other photos of the flight, there were several cloud layers above and below us. And it looks like the sun was behind one of these cloud layers at the time of taking the shot. Anyway, when I look at the JPG that came from the camera (I have the camera on both RAW and JPG), it came out, somewhat, underexposed. Next to that, I think I have a tendency to post-process my images a little bit on the dark side. ;-)

This is what the JPG straight from the camera looked like:
