Interesting shot. Great human factor IMO and some neat lines and colors to break the "blandness" of the grey sky. There is some vingetting going on, though I love the tone to this.
I added the vignetting manually. I'm interested in what you think of it. Does it work for you? I've been on a vignet loving streek lately (I don't know why). Although, does it look natural or does it look fake?

Looks natural, and it works alright on this picture as I review it. It doesn't totally disturb anything, and if anything, it probably helps the top right hand corner.

Neat effect.
Good to know, thanks.

Juzzus,
Thanks. Yeah that is one of the contrast(s) of this shot. I forgot to add the (s) when typing in the thread title. The other which as prominent for me is the red & green chutes. Red & green being opposites. I also find it quite humurous that the red one was the one flying while the green one which more of a "go" colour was the one that was grounded. I'm glad you've found this interesting.
A little background: Actually the green guy was trying to take off for quite some time but just couldn't then after a few minutes of trying the instructors (as he was still learning) would tell him to hold on and aid someone else to takeoff. A few people took off and he had that same look on his face everytime someone takes off. It must have very frustrating for him. I actually left the area before he was successful and I'm not sure if he ever did.

Leels, I like the simplicity and the graphic quality of this shot. It could have been a snapshot given the subject but it stands above because of your composition.
About the vignetting, I don't really care for it. I can't say that it hurts the image but I don't think that it brings an improvement so I would personally tend to keep things simplier and I would avoid this kind of edit.
