Wow, what a KICK ASS airshow it was Saturday! Perfect weather plus great performances by all the teams made for some great shooting.
On Saturday on the F-22's second demo; there was just enough humidity in the air to make for some nice condensation during the high speed and photo/dedication passes.
I never made it out there today (Sunday) because from what I heard on the forecast that the weather wasn't going to be as good as yesterday.
Daniel, how was it there today? Did it clear up at all?
The weather did eventually clear up enough for the Raptor, F-16, the Snow Birds, and most importantly - the Angels to go up! By the time the Angels went up, it was actually sunny :)Quote:

I have a combined total of some 32GB of CF cards to go though :shock:
Hopefully, I got some decent shots. It was hard reviewing them on the cameras' LCDs. The show DID start under overcast skies, and spot metering was very tough. We shall see... :D
Overall, awesome show! Can't wait for next year!
P.S.
While it was overcast for the better part of the day, the upside for the crappy weather was some major vapor galore... :D
Sat's show was one of, if not the best show I've been to. It was an amazing line up and the folks at RIANG had things organized amazingly well. It was good to meet the folks from NYCA that made the trip up.
How loud were "DOG's" take offs? Holy crap my ears are still blown. Zeke looked great in the Raptor and the snowbirds were amazing. The Blues seemed a bit off but I think a lot of it has to do with the fog bank less than a mile from the airport. 6's takeoff was amazing though, so low that he kicked up a dust storm at the end of the runway.
Civilian wise, it was great to see John Klatt again. I love his performances and he's as personable as Sean D. Tucker. Speaking of Sean D, he was fantastic, highlighted by a shout out to the ASB.TV crew hanging out with the bus.
This show is first rate all the way and I can't wait to go back next year.
Guys,
I can tell you before even looking at any of the video that the demo videos of the F-16 and F-22 are going to be absolutely spectacular. I will be able to start encoding it next week and should have them uploaded starting next week as well. You all know where to find them!
Nice to meet up with ya Tim on Saturday. I wish I hung around with you and Chris after the show by the AirshowBuzz Bus, but I was down by the C-5 near the entrance when they started to tell everyone to leave.
Steve, I'll definatly be looking forward to that raptor video, Saturday's demo was incredible!
