Oh, my!  What amazing colours.  Love how the plane is flying INTO the photo!  Great work!

I took this back in 76, when I was a medic attached to 2nd Bomb Wing, and had the crash team for the bomb competition between USAF and RAF.    The old Vulcan bombers were amazing machines; they had so little wing loading that they could land at very slow speeds compared to the B-52s.

This was an old Ektachrome slide found at the bottom of a drawer, and it took major surgery to get it back to an acceptable image.   

I hope that some of my slides will be able to withstand "major surgery" when I get them all scanned!  This was certainly a good job you did on this one.

You know, it almost looks like it has been printed on a canvas or something.  The colours are so unusual but it is very interesting.  How big would it print tolerably?

Because of the deterioration of the dyes, I had to go back and do some masks and color adjustment.   It had that pinkish look that comes to very old slides.   I wouldn't put this one on an 8X10, but a 5X7 would be OK.

There was a large spot of discoloration behind the plane; I had to replace the smoke from the exhaust as they throttled up on approach.   That is all post processing.

This is a picture John would love to see.  I too love the colours, even if you did have to retouch them.  A 5X7 would be good.
