Check for dustspots, because you have a descent amount of them. But thats just appearance ;-)
Then level and crop if necessary. (Crop 3-2 or 16-9) White balance (your color variations) is very important. Make sure white is white and black is black.
.....
Vignettering, get it out (Dark corners of your image)
......
This is a nutshell explanation, try it and keep the reality in mind. ;-)
Regards,
Just a thought. If you crop before removing vignetting, the (dark)corners of the picture will not be where PS expects them. I would (IMHO) first do a first step of levels then remove vigentting and than crop: after the entire picture has the same shade of light (so no dark corners)
I agree with the rest...

Good luck,
Marc

YW Rene !

@Marc, you are def right, there are a lot of different steps possible, I just named a few whith which you can get descent results, not really looking at the order in which to do them in. Just summing up, but you are absolutely right about doing vignets before cropping ;)

@Dutch312 I checked them out, cool stuff.. :)

Stratofreighter,
The blue angels plane is a CT-133.
Here in the usa they call it a T-33 because everybody knows the T-bird and not the CT-133.

Back in the day it was the TV-2 they used for support you are right about that.

I know that somebody is trying to get a TV-2 ready to fly again but its hard to find a front canopy.

Fly boy ,

Nellis is a nice show.
The first 2 years i went redbull was the main sponsor and there were alot more airplanes and a night show by bill reesman (rip) in the redbull mig.
This year they had to cut down the amount of flying planes.

Nice pics Dutch312! Did you happen to see the registration of the "RA" coded T-38 in the static? I'm also looking for the serial of the E-3 on the other side of the runway.
Groeten, Regards,
René

Rene,
The serial on the T-38 is
68-8135

The E-3 i need to look up.
That one was badly damaged beyond repair about 3 years ago and they just left it there.

I am still looking for the serial of the KC-10 that came in either saturday night or early sunday morning and was sitting on the orherside as well
