Default Vette and a Jet

Has anyone ever had their car photographed with a jet and if so would you mind sharing how you may have parked your car next to it
If your wondering one of the clubs I belong is having our meet and car show show at a small airport next weekend and this is one of the attraction for us to do.

We had a few cars-n-coffee nights during the Summer at the Abbotsford airport. The pub was right next to the tarmac so I waited for most cars to leave and then moved up to the fence for the plane shot. The copter was parked on the pub grounds another night inside the fence. You don't get too many oppertunities for these kinds of shots unless you're a pilot!

Forum member DeeGee has posted some pics of his car with a jet in the background - they looked very good.

This is in Ontario Oregon and I was surprised to just turn off a main street onto the end of this runway!
There sat these retired F4's and MIGs ....pretty cool.

I catch a picture of The Vert and a jet any time I have the chance. I still fly at the base where I worked even though I've now retired so that makes it easier. Getting on to the operational movement areas is difficult without base privileges.

In UK most military bases have a Community Liaison Officer who can fix up picture sessions. Try the media rep at a USAF base.
