Nice shots Eric. That KC-10 is really making me wish I had decided to take the day off of work and go to AC for the show.
I love them all but the Heavy Metal Head on is OVER THE TOP! VERY NICE!!!!

Jaw hit the floor with the first shot of the Canadian jump team and continued to stay of the floor for the entire set. Just stunning! Thanks for sharing.

Given the conditions (back lit) great stuff! Once again, makes me mad that I cannot seem to ever get this day off! My favorites are the Canadian jumpers and the Heavy Metal jet team in formation.

Eric, what did the Canadian Jumpers drop from? Sherpa maybe?

Awesome show and I hope they caught the idiot who broke the TFR and came pretty close to the MidAtlantic Medevac BK117 as it headed south after its 2nd flyby. Amazing this guy was
just tooling along. Thankfully a high performance aircraft wasnt working at the time.

This was the first time I saw the Heavy Metal Jet Team. Great demo, great color scheme of black, white & grey camo. They displayed many formations and manuevers that both the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds doi in their respective demos.
But Dale "Snort" Snodgrass took this to a whole other level in the Mig-17. He tore the place up! What a demo, what a pilot!
Here are a few of the Heavy Metal Jet Team

Great shots great performance. Scott in the Mig-17 was amazing. And from where I was during their performance they definitely won over the crowd!
Jones Beach 2012? Book em now!! :biggrin:
