It is worth the money , IMHO when the right combo comes together. Makes photography more than fun or interesting. Really something I look forward to. My wildlife/birding combo is a D500, 500 PF.

And this combo is the 5Dsr and a 100-400 LII lens. I have had to learn to not sharpen the images more than about 10 percent. It really has a lot of detail with the 50.6 mp sensor and shooting in raw gives me a lot of data to work with in post.

I heard this guy flying around today and got in a few shots from below. I believe it’s a B-25. An intro from Wiki:

The North American B-25 Mitchell is a medium bomber that was introduced in 1941 and named in honor of Major General William "Billy" Mitchell, a pioneer of U.S. military aviation.[2] Used by many Allied air forces, the B-25 served in every theater of World War II, and after the war ended, many remained in service, operating across four decades. Produced in numerous variants, nearly 10,000 B-25s were built.[1] These included a few limited models such as the F-10 reconnaissance aircraft, the AT-24 crew trainers, and the United States Marine Corps' PBJ-1 patrol bomber.

I love these old birds they take me back to my youth. I have some hours in multi-engine training in the TB-25 back in the early 1950's. My good old days.

When I joined the AF the first birds I worked on were C-54’s. I was ground support, maintenance. Got to take them big puppies apart, inspect them and then put it all back together in phase dock.

Thank you for your service. Most of my hours were logged in the venerable old KC-97 tanker. She rattled and squeaked but she served well.

Most famous for flying off from the Carrier Hornet for "Dolittle's raid on Tokyo" Imagine a Airplane that size with a 400' takeoff run.. And knowing they would not make it to a airport, they were going to crash land in China if they made it that far.. because they were spotted early and had to take off with 200 extra miles to fly..
