Went to the Atlantic City Airshow today, suprise of the day was by far the 4 ship Raptor flybye which was not on the schedule. They made a few passes but I still have yet to see the demo which I hear is is incredible. Everything is great about this show.... well minus the lighting conditions. But you can't beat a day off of work watching an airshow at the beach(especially with all of the gorgeous woman in bikinis).

Wish the lighting was better for this one, FAA DC3

nice shots bill. you're right about it being a great thing to do on a day off, but why would an airshow be schedules on a wednesday? was it just a practice session? anyway, me likes the MH-60!!

Bill, I'm suprised you had somewhat decent lighting. I went over two years ago and was very disappointed with the lighting because I did not know the show was on a East to West beach.

I don't think that was us in the Demo. The #'s on the nose of the -60 looks like 682. I forgot all about this show, I guess I need to go on ASB more often.

Yea the light is still very tuff. This year though a few of the performers came in from the west at show center and in the afternoon that worked out really well because I was south of show center. Examples are the F18 and H-46. Its too bad the show doesn't start later in the day, but its still a nice trip regardless.
