This month’s Opening Shot is one of many we received from the vast numbers of enthusiasts at AADs public days. This one caught our eye because of the juxtaposition of the Silver Falcons and the DC-3 Dakota.
Eksteen Jacobsz took the picture on the Saturday afternoon. He says that as he was leaving the air force base he turned around, saw the composition of the DC-3 Dakota and then saw that the Silver Falcons would pass through the shot. He used his Nikon D5100 with a 62mm focal length and f/6.3. Shutter speed was 1/2500 sec.
