Well I made it to AC for the airshow today and was IMO much better then Mcguire or Millville. The Blue Angels were a better show at Millville then both times I saw the T-Birds this year but as a whole this was the best show. Got to hang out on the beach, watch some planes and lots of woman. Great sights all around. Only disapointment was they were advertising the F-22 demo and FAA 727 making some passes up until a few weeks ago but they were a no show. Heres the first few I edited, the morning was very backlit but was coming around by afternoon so I didn't bother editing alot of the early performers.

The topside pass on the Spirit of California is awesome. Was there refuelling in the demo, or just the boom extended?

Bill, great shots! I hope you don't mind that I add some of my photos to this thread. These are a couple of quick and dirty edits; I'll be editing for the next year with the amount of photos I took.

Thanks guys, it was a fun day. They only made a pass with the boom down and the 16's trailing behind. What plane is the spirit of california? The C-5? I saw that it was from Travis.

I saw that FAA aircraft at ACY today along with a C-17.

The Spirit of California would be the B-2. I'm surprised to find out that the C-5 was a Travis bird!
