A Canadair CL-415 (CL215 6B11), tanker 270, leaves Dryden on runway 29. Only to return a half hour later.

The photo is not razor sharp as the aircraft was a half of a mile away, and it was raining. Light levels where also low due to being overcast. The purpose of the photo was to try and capture the vortices.

This photo was taken with a slower than normal shutter speed of 1/320th of a second at F13 (on purpose) to better capture the vortices, and to give a slight blur to the propellers. This is also a small crop of the original photo.
