Nice shot. It has been many years, but I once worked at the FedEx hub in Indy. Even worked a flight served with MD-11s. It was an interesting experience and it is amazing how much bigger these birds are when looking UP at them from the ground. Looking out at a jet from the passenger terminal is NOT the same and it messes with the perspective.

Lovely Photo Ken! Feels like your actually there! Thanks for the background on this tail as well. I am going to have to keep on eye out for her coming in to IND.

No. The generally used term is a "DC-3 with turbine engines."

I was near the south end of 17R just a few feet south of the 8000 foot marker (the runway is 11002 feet long), so I was roughly 6500 feet away. It was dawn light but the hills were still quite dark so arrivals were difficult to see as they were coming low over the north boundary. I tried to get this same type click with an inbound CRJ but it was too small an aircraft and the low light combined with the mile-long distance and the dark background behind the CRJ meant that it was beyond the reach of my 70-300 so I could not get a good focus on it. But this big bus was much easier to focus on so all I had to really concentrate on doing was holding the camera steady.

...interesting info on the two Comco aircraft can be found by searing "Comco Aviation". Also see C32B Gatekeeper, USAF aircraft that work in conjunction with the US State Department and other US intelligence services.

Beautiful Photo Shabbir.

Mountain and busy road add interest to the pic. 10 years ago I had a lot of fun watching the F-15's depart & land from KPDX.

@Al Miller - It may look 'tame', but that 'exhaust' can propel the 64,000 Lb. F-22 to over Mach 1 in a vertical climb.

See the USAF decal on the right wing and the red stripe in the US rondel, it would correctly be identified as an F-51.
