Here are a few pictures that I took from this season. I was only able to get to three air shows this year; Akron, Dayton, and Pittsburgh. I realize the shots are not the greatest compared to many of the pictures posted here, :? but I have to wait till after college to get a better camera! :D


The first ones are from the Akron Air Show. I was not able to take too many since I was working on the Line Crew, but these are some of the few I was able to get.

Some nice shots there PhantomAce08, thanks for posting.

Very poignant to see the sequence of the late Wyatt Fuller and his lovely F-86. :(

Nice pixs. What's the deal with the Cobras in the bright yellow Army markings? I've never seen pictures of them before.

They are part of the Sky Soldiers, who are part of the Army Aviation Heritage Foundation. They put on a really nice demo. :D

Here's a link to their site...

Great shots, especially this one. You ought to have it enlarged and hang in on the wall.

That's a good idea, it should help that the origionals are about 40 inches x 30 inches. :D Here are a few more like that one.
