Great shots! I can't wait for the airshow to startup in the Northeast.

What Camera gear are you using?

Great photos! Thanks for posting them.
The P-51 is Tony Banta's (Don't ask me who polishes it!). He also owns the P-40. Tom Camp is flying the Wildcat.

Thanks for the comments. I was using the Canon 20D and 100-400L combination, which is quite a common site at UK shows but I was surprised to not see very many at this show!

I believe the P-51, P-40 & Bearcat are all Tony Banta's. I'm not sure on the Wildcat & T-28 though, so any info would be greatly appreciated.

gspinks...really nice pics! I have the same set-up (20D & 100-400L IS). Hope I can get as good at Chino, MAAM, Duxford, and Thunder.

Mudge the hopeful :shock:

Hi all,

EXQUISITE photography !! They are top notch photo's. And the Mustang...even in the photo, it is almost Blindingly shiny ! She must take quite abit of someone's time and energy to keep her that clean.

Thanks for posting them,

Paul

Both my buddy and I were shooting with the 100-400L and Canon's too. I've got a couple of pictures on the other forum "WIX Gatherings/Aviation Events" at http://warbirdinformationexchange.org/p ... php?t=6704
