Remaining further OT, here's a C-17 making a low pass over our
house a few weeks ago. We often get C-130s doing low training runs
(they're based at Richmond about 10 km away) but a C-17 is rare
because they're based in Queensland. Not as sharp as I'd like -
I've really got to start using AF-C.

Nice! Looks to be a similar height to ours. Our Air Force doesn't
have anything quite so big but they do have a few C-130s still going
strong. I think they've just been through another upgrade.
I use AF-C as a matter of course at the moment because my camera
can't lock onto infinity when wider than about 28mm. I have it set
not to fire unless it's in focus so I kept getting frustrated.
Next time, grab a camera :-)>
If I'd grabbed the camera and an appropriate lens I'd have missed
seeing the plane. That may sound selfish, but a photo of blank sky
wouldn't be very interesting to you guys.
Well you know the PDML mantra - "pics or it didn't happen"!
