Saw this and was wondering; It appears to be the same image from the official USAF announcement. I don't know who the photographer is who took the picture, but is this person selling something he owns? Or is this person selling something and claiming credit for taking? Please, I am NOT trying to start anything here. Just merely curious, that's all.

Hmmm good question....
But the more pressing question to me is, where the hell did he get a high res enough pic to turn into an 8x10? <img src=newicons/tard.gif border=0 align=middle>

Col Hallock: "Two of the most important are in the AF and the AF doesn't want either...the lightweight fighter and the A-10"

That picture is one right off the AF website when they announced the A-10C rollout and first flight. It is an official AF photo. You can find it on http://www.af.mil

Coach

I had the same question about this e-book on eBay...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... eName=WDVW

It is an AU Press release...downloadable in PDF format.

The auction has this caveat...

Anyhow, it's a great book and you can order it for free if you are a DoD employee...

This photo of the A-10C during its first flight was taken by the 40th FTS's photographer whom I met on the 21st of January at Eglin AFB. The photo is part of a serie taken during the flight. I got a CD from him with all images taken during that flight. They're all suitable for printing.
What this guy is doing is selling someone else work to his own profit. I came across his e-store once and I just hope I won't see any of my shots there!

So, why buy this photo from him when you can dowload the same from the AF link and have it printed.

Who wants a copy?

<img src=newicons/bounce.gif border=0 align=middle>

<img src="http://www.pprune.org/forums/images/smilies/badteeth.gif" border=0> I do!

And I promise they will be for my own use, not publically displayed or sold in any form or matter.

Cheers! M2

Shit, I thought you were talking about the CD full of pics! <img src=icon_smile_dissapprove.gif border=0 align=middle>

Now I realize you meant copy of the pic, not the CD.

Any way we can get a copy of the CD, for our own personal use?

Cheers! M2

I don't mind making you a copy, for your own personnel usage, but I will ask you to give me a few dollars for postage to Europe. $3 will cover it. Let me know if you want it.
