Thanks! It's the Canon 400mm f/5.6L. Very handy because it's small and light, but it's shorter than I'd like at times, and at 5.6 it's too slow for marginal & low light.
The f/2.8 version could be had for only $12K - about $1k per pound. I have the Canon 100-400 f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM and love it and though I wish it were faster, the cost and weight would be prohibitive.

Nice shot! My first Navy Photography School back in 1978 was in Pensacola, FL where these guys are based. I have seen them many times. We would often see them practicing on any given day. Where did you see them?
Thanks! Seen them many times myself. This was at Seattle Seafair, where they usually show every year.

How do you know the camera settings on these old film scans?
To identify the type of flm in a holder I used a strip of very thin masking tape, along the top of the holder. When I put the holder away I added the exposure and info, which I transferred the info to the neg sleeves after processing. Sadly I got more lax as I went on so things wil get to be more of a mess as I progress. I also had a note book which I am sure is long gone, but that is where I recorded the location info, if it required more than a word or three.
