Air-to-air with two of the Planes of Fame air museum's rarer birds: the Curtiss-built P-47G Thunderbolt and the Northrop N9M Flying Wing. The D500 performed admirably.
This second wing-plane looks quite exactly like a WWII german "Nurflügler" which was invented more than 70years ago.
I guess apart from all those terrible things happening in this war there had been quite some ingenious engineers there.
On my recent trip to Myanmar, I was tossing up whether to take my D500 as well as my D810. Frogfish (Kevin) had also recently been to Myanmar and he suggested I take the D500 as a back-up camera in case the D810 failed. I heeded his advice and I am glad I did. Not because there was any issue with the D810, but because the D500 came into it's own when we visited Inle Lake - stunning scenery and lots of action by the local fishermen on the lake.
The D500 + 80-400 combo proved very effective, even when in a boat going at about 20mph and bobbing up and down trying to get other boats at distance, AF locked on super fast and nailed it.
left the zoom in da truck...but I'll still take this frame filler
Will - I've clipped a few myself. I suppose I could use that reason as well, except I didn't have any zoom in my truck. I send out emails regarding the script of I want to shoot and they never seem to follow it or even read em! Guess I should expect this level of respect from these turkeys
35 pages in and still do not like the look of the files.I think the look of the d7100,D7200 files look better.Of course a ton of great shots and understand the buffer differences,Iso and auto focus superiority.But not impressed with the file look.

Thank you very much for your generous comments, Khun Hans. Much appreciated!
Most have large screens now, so they look much better large!
If they are too big for your screen, use "CTRL" and the scroll wheel on your mouse to make them smaller and fit your screen.
Ha,ha .. Lance. I got the i-Mac 5K and your work really shines on that monitor. Most posters don't think about adjusting their pictures to the new monitors sizes which changes a lot in viewing.
