Goal of the Photo
At the Decatur 75th Anniversary Airport Air Show several radial and piston driven aircraft had performed up to the time of pilot Randy Ball demonstrating the MiG-17. The contrast between the relatively slower propeller driven aircraft and this jet powered plane was stark. With this photo I wanted to show off that intense power on display.
