I hate to say it, but I'm glad the Grand Old Air Show was canceled. If it wasn't, I may not have been able to attend this awesome event. I can think of nothing better than to hang out at a grass strip all afternoon, only feet away from vintage aviation beauties as they taxi and take off. Noting beats the sounds and the smells, and my stars these birds were clean! Spotless, factory fresh! I'm slightly annoyed that this was my first visit, since I feel I have missed out on this cool place for so long.
Hella backlit all day, but I had plenty of fun with the panning!

His mistake? Attempting to wave while taking off. Bad idea.

The "OH SH*T" moment, kicking up dirt. He recovered after a few bounces, thankfully.
