****CORRECTION****

I think all those pictures but the dragon fly actually came from Boston.com's The Big Picture, '50 Best Photos From The Natural World'.

Sorry for any confusion.

awesome! Really clear and crisp.

Looks like just one plane. It's landing, because you can clearly see the forward facing "headlights" on the wing tips. And the central dots from the strobes.

And you can see he was descending too fast, so he flew level for a while. It looks really steep, but I think that's telephoto lens compression.
