I'm afraid my rather simple camera doesn't handle flying aircraft all that well, and it was overcast during the warbird flying on Sunday, so they didn't show up anyway. But here are some of my better ones..

I'll limit my postings mostly to my ground shots. I've found that the easiest way to avoid getting rubberneckers in the shot is to use an extended monopod with a timer.

More as I get them sorted.

The Corsair with the 'K' on the tail is new to me....whose is this? It LOOKS like N240CA but I thought that one retained some of its old colors?

Some retro schemes. I never did get all the way down the ramp..were there any other retros? I had planned to spend an hour or two after the show taking more ramp pics, but we were so wiped out from the heat we decided to call it a day after the Blues landed.
