Here are a few of my favorites (without repeating some already posted by others). My favorite was the 707 during UN week and a couple from LAX during a few business trips earlier this year.
Favorite from JFK during UN week:

As military shows go, I made a trip to California JUST to capture this :-) The rest was icing on the cake

...and there were supposed to be six ships altogether. One had mechanicals and one bailed because there wasn't enough money in it.
Meeting Steve Hinton, shaking his hand and watching him pilot Glacier Girl was a real treat for me!

My wife and daughter were treated very nicely by all the volunteers at our VIP tent, which makes it easy for me to enjoy the show!
Here's another one

Invited inside the airport perimeter at CYUL to capture the first ever AF 380 to Montreal.
I haven't edited any from my last trip to YYZ but I got the inagural Hainan A346 and a TK Star Alliance 343.
Since I had seen the Prince's 747 twice this year (and Brandon already posted it as a catch of the year) I decided not to use that one. So instead, here are my three:
I got lucky that I didn't leave BFI, instead reorganized my car, to catch this beauty do 2 flyby's prior to landing.

Finally caught the Denver Broncos owner's plane. This is a personal catch of the year since I am a HUGE Broncos fan:

And finally just a really cool looking plane that I had never seen before:

USAF Pilot... NOT FAIR :-)
Eric, love the Trump lighting and the Atlas air I keep seeing it on the ground and never in the air :-(
Can't forget Evergreen! What a catch! I was undoubtedly a happy camper that day to see such a rare bird.

I couldn't believe my eyes...a true dream-come-true!
I don't get the Evergreen... I see it many times a week... ??? This one to me should be a catch of the year I guess. I will likely never see it again this year ...
