Hearing aircraft flying overhead is a common experience simply because the Athens airport is only a few miles away.

I heard the roar of a nearby jet and grabbed the camera.

I put the 35x optical zoom lens to work.

The hardest part of taking pics like this is trying to follow the aircraft at full zoom. It's much harder than meets the eye.

But once I can find what I'm looking for, the camera takes decent pics.

Cropping these pics resulted in images that were much better than expected.

Not bad at all. I'm getting better with this camera.
