The Manassas Regional Airport, outside of Washington, DC, hosted an air show this past Saturday. I had heard about it, but really hadn't planned to attend. They didn't have a big line up, it's a 6 hour drive for me, and I had some other photo plans for the weekend.
Then Thursday night, this guy called me to say he was at the show...
So I packed up, and hit the road Friday after work. The Warrior Aviation flight team was on display, with their L-39 and Yak-9. I guess you could call this the Soviet Heritage Flight pass...
The "Flying Farmer" made off in a Piper Cub, to predictable results.
A gaggle of Stearmans
Wax on, wax off.
I hadn't seen a wing-walker at an air show in ages!
After the show, and a little IAD spotting, I headed into DC. As I was pulling into a parking lot next to the Tidal Basin and near the Washington Monument, I heard rotors overhead and low. Looking out the sunroof, I see three USMC white-top helos above me, en route to the White House...
A short time later, one popped out from between the trees, and I managed to get a quick shot.
