 * Nominate and support. - rogerd 01:03, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
 * weak support - a beautiful image, but my enthusiasm only goes so far for several reasons 1) seems over-saturated, potentially as much of a data loss as blown highlights, 2) sodium vapor lighting looks very unnatural, almost as if the planes are actually yellow 3) I wonder if an image showing the American military presence in Afghanistan won't stir up the POV/NPOV issue. But to stay consistent with my stance in the Great Flying Spaghetti Monster Debate of 2006, I am voting on the image merits. Debivort 01:36, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose, like the F/A-18 below, it's very pretty but doesn't convey much information. There are tons of pictures of KC-135s out there that show it in natural light and even in action...so why use one that is rather blurry and grainy when looking at the plane itself?

 * Oppose. The colors are unnatural and don't show how the planes really look, and the overall image is grainy. -- Tewy  04:26, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Debivort, Night Gyr, and Tewy said it all. Nautica Shades (talk) 07:44, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Support. The colours are a bit odd. sikander 18:53, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
