I hope Moose got some good shots, I didn't make it to bed til 5:30 this morning and was way too hungover to make it to the beach today

Just got home - 16 hours with Fred and his sons. Gotta jump in the shower, then I'll look at pictures. Was an outstanding show. Light wasn't great, but wasn't terrible, hot, mostly sunny. An incredible variety of performers - there was rarely more than a few minutes of inactivity between performances from 10:30am until the T-Birds finished at almost 4pm. I think I took about 1200 shots...

It was a very good show. It was very hot though I burned through 7 bottles of water and a ton of sun screen, I was even debating weather I should leave the show or not but I ended up staying, I got the VIP area and it was good and all but the speakers were really weak so I had to use my scanner but it also has lousy speakers.

Also I heard them talking about UAV's I couldn't make it out because of the bad audio.

And it seemed like the T-birds ended the show early is it just me or did they cut it around ten mins?

I'm way too tired to be looking at photos, but here's a quick taste of the air show:




Now it's off to bed~!

Well, after a few hours of sleep, a lot of water, I'm still a little tired, sore and dealing with sunburn on my face, arms and legs. Edited some shots from yesterday, but still have a ton to go through. Here are a few more shots:

Kicking up a little spray :D

Just got home - 16 hours with Fred and his sons.....I think I took about 1200 shots...

Which means Fred must have shot close to 3000 pics. :)

I know we have some helicopter fans here, so...






This is Howard, who works at B&H - we ended up hanging out together a good part of the day, talking airplanes and cameras. He's shooting with a Nikon 600mm lens, on a film body!

You buddy Howard should seriously have an armed guard!

Fred, that vertical F-22 shot is amazing.

[Matt Molnar]

Great shots guys.

Did Howard need a trailer to move that tripod?

[moose135]
