  • Support as nominator --Pine 02:21, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Perfectly sharp, great pictures... Any reason not nominated seperately? Other similar pictures are nom'd seperately... gazhiley 13:15, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support picture 1. Picture 1 is sharp and provides many details. Picture 2 is nice and useful but falls short of the minimum image size requirement. As for putting them as a featured picture set... There are two existing FPs of the F-16 and I see no reason why these two photo should be grouped together specifically. dllu (t,c) 17:14, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Picture 1 is sharp, but I don't like the distracting glare near the pilot's head. I'm also distracted by the magazine on his "dashboard". Playboy? Reference Quarterly? Or maybe the manual on how to fly the thing. Compared to the F-16 images linked by dllu, picture 1 doesn't really pop. Picture 2 is too blue and was possibly cropped; the plane is too tight to the top. Sorry :( – Kerαunoςcopiagalaxies 08:51, 13 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Striked out "popping" comment; on second thought, picture 1 shows more of the plane than the other two FPs. But the glare and magazine still stand. – Kerαunoςcopiagalaxies 08:55, 13 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
