Well, Toby needed help with this process, so I'll fill in the proper info. Toby nominated this because he believes this to be an encyclopedic and well-taken picture. I admit that it has some quality issues, but nothing that can't be touched up. This image can be found in the following articles:

This image was taken by Carla Thomas for NASA and is public domain.

Hope this helps, Toby! Sharkface217 19:23, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Indeed I had issues setting this image up. I am slowly learning the process. Anyways thank you to everyone for your help and yes I find this picture worthy of FP because it is an informative/interesting picture and anyone who sees it does a definite double take. --Tobyw87 19:23, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Nominate and support. --Tobyw87 18:53, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose Not at all up to the quality of a featured picture. Although it is quite cool and quite encyclopedic, it's not FA quality. Sharkface217 19:25, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose Very blurry and grainy in full size. --Janke | Talk 20:44, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose - Composition and enc are there in spadefuls, but image quality appears to have been left on the runway. --YFB ¿ 01:53, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Neutral - If this could be downsampled to a size where it can illustrate both aircraft clearly, I'll support. typhoonchaser 09:01, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
    • Someone with more photo editing skills should downsize this pic. The picture that you get when you just open it and not click on full screen is a higher resolution than many FPs. This is a very interesting picture and if someone would be willing to do the work it would be a great FP. It really captures the eye and would look great on the front page. --Tobyw87 09:59, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
      • I realize the edit may be too small but I did what I could. It would be cool if someone with more skills took a crack at it.--Tobyw87 10:14, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose Poor quality, cannot be salvaged to FP quality and artificial looking black lines around the rear of the aircrafts. --antilived T | C | G 00:00, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose. I'm afraid that I don't think that any amount of editing skills can salvage this picture. NauticaShades 15:26, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
