 * Much better now. I'm going to be neutral because the image has quite a lot of noise, but it also exceeds the resolution requirement by some amount. At the same time, downsampling is not an option due to the small but significant text on the edge of the ENJJPT coat of arms. The white paint may well be blown out, but that's somewhat forgivable as it's not the central subject. The whitish halos around the pencil (?) and some other objects bother me a bit more, though. The composition overall is fine, even if the photographer should have been invisible to make it really perfect imho.  Papa Lima Whiskey  (talk) 18:39, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose EV is somewhat weak, spread over three articles. Shows little of a T-37; does serve to identify the student pilot but is not very educational about the topic, though admittedly it is a hard one to illustrate; does show an oxygen mask but again, not an extremely informative view.

 * Reluctant oppose per the above comments. Particularly agreeing with Fletcher about the oxygen mask.  It's a reasonably good photograph but not ideal for any of its encyclopedic uses.  Durova Charge! 17:04, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
