    Should be shaping up to be a great show if anyone wants to make the trek from wherever they live!

    Hope to see some of you there - I'll be happy to meet up with any of you on the flightline.

    Great show - but not so great photography. Sun kept most of the demos in the shadows almost all day. Add in that most of the a/c are darker rather than lighter and it was a tough catch. Here are a few preview shots. I'll add more later.

    Great shots Jeremy! Love the vapor off the Hornet, and the Thunderbirds look beautiful in that light!

    Great shots. The sky was so clear. I suppose Hanna helped to clear the sky; so maybe we should plan to go to the air shows in early Fall so we don't have the hazy sky of May and June...

    I did manage to see the show for both days, Saturday's weather was horrible but we did got some nice condensation shots, Hanna finally arrives when the Thunderbirds were touching down...
