Pretty cool pics! Thanks for posting them. I don't think I'll be able to get to many air shows this summer, so I look forward to the pics you all post.
Best Regards
Robbie :spit

Tony, did you happen to catch the F-4 during its high speed pass ? I heard she was making quite a bit of vapor.

My mother has a part time job on base to get out of the house. so this show wasn't a "photo mission" show it was a be with mom day. So I didn't take many picks or do as much walking around as normal..moms 77 this year. I only took my Canon G2 so flight picks are not that great sorry we were not going to walk to the fence line for this show and the edge is sooo far away from the show line anyway(gotta love government regs.)

F4s as always lots a noise and lots a smoke pic doesn't show the smoke that well but she did a beat up of the field..

Image


Spookyboss again can we say kinda grainy sorry and mom wasn't to keen on walking to the corner were you were parked but it looked like you had a good turn out of people pawing on her. To bad you guys can't do circles instead of the long passes thing kinda get "lost" with the soundtrack and no plane. The O-2 made some nice passes and the loach stayed at the far end from us so stage center could hardly see her. Although the grass fires didn't help that much either :lol:

Image

Question who does or do you guy sell a that recording of songs that was playing during the field beat up?? Mom was cracking up she started singing the "PUFF" song saying how I liked that one so much as a little kid and then stops listens and "hey it doesn't go that way" and then really started laughing.

Are you guys going to be at Thunder over Mich??

Cheers
Tony
