Cheetah-D "Take-off"

Cheetah-D fighter taking off from Air Force Base Overberg, South Africa. I wanted to get the fighter in focus and everything else blurred to exagerate the speed on take-off. I made use of a 300mm lens, 60th/sec shutterspeed and panned the fighter (and some luck).

I don't know if I am the first one to notice this, but, doesn't something look awfully wrong with this picture??? Look at front landing gear...it disappers into the bush at the background...also the bottom-back part of the plane! And the thrust...seems to be too low for take-off. I have no doubt it is in take-off position and have not taken-off yet. Honestly, this one looks to me unreal.

Who was the pilot if I may ask? Jannie Scott by any chance? Saw him flying the cheetah at Overberg once. Think it was last year. Great display!!

Brilliant photo!!
