The Official Thunder over Michigan 2011 Photo Thread

[wls3]

Didn't see another thread started yet.
Stole Spooky's idea for title.
Fell free to add photos here.

Amazing collection showed up for show, here are a few to start,

Nice!

[Steve Nelson]

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?

[John Kerr]

Ex N240CA now N240CF and sporting a Korean War Scheme.

[Steve Nelson]

Some more, starting with the Corsair "Rogues Gallery."











A Kitty and a Poon..





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.

Fortunately, we were right by the taxiway, so I got some nice shots of warbird comings and goings..

Drool?! I pissed my pants!

[Pogo]

Tell ya what I'm waitin' for ....... a picture of one of those Zeroes with an Asian pilot in it. Preferably Japanese. And preferably with one of those Tora doo rags on. I may be all messed up, but that's what I really wanna see.

[wls3]

Few more from the weekend.
