Photographer’s Note

The Fouga Magister (company designation CM.170) was a 1950s French two-seat jet trainer, and the world's first purpose-built two-seat turbojet-powered trainer aircraft. The related CM.175 Zéphyr was a carrier-capable version for the French Navy.

The Israeli Air Force operated a licence manufactured version, the IAI Tzukit. This aircraft participated in the 1967 Six Day War against Jordanian armoured forces, albeit with heavy casualties..

Hi Assi,

great dynamic image in very soft colour tones, very good capture of movement, pity that the left lower corner is burned out a little...otherwise very good...

Take care, Ivana

Hi Assi,

This is a really unusual picture. An super composition where the light in the cockpit is a real eye-catcher. The presence of sunspots is also very functional here.

Regards,

Eddie

Hi Assi;

As awesome as this shot looks, without any divulgence of information on how you took the shot (which seems to be taken from outside the aircraft) to me it just screams 'fake' (as in created solely in Photoshop).
The lens flares are the exact same as the ones used in Photoshop, I tend to wonder if this is a well taken photo- or whether this is a well created Photoshop image.

I'm not meaning to insinuate any wrong doing, but without more info on such a perfect shot- can you blame me? :-)
Can you please provide us with more info?

Cheers Assi,
- Dan
