Hey now!, that's Super-Duper!
Glad you caught these shots, like both of them, but especially the show of power and smoke in #2!

Photo number two seems almost like a 3-D image. Great work.

Number 2 is a classic photo and you got it right. Looks like it did when I was departing North Platte way back then LOL.
