After a LONG weekend of jets, warbirds, and beer, here's my small sampling from the last day of the show:

>[Could that goddammed Geico skytyping team have used any more smoke and made the sky any more hazy??<

Yeah there were times when I couldnt even see to the west and I was on the shoreline well east of the tower. BTW, my son was hanging out tailgating in Field 4 and he said during one of the B-1 passes EVERY car alarm went off!! LOL!!! Priceless.

Oh yeah, thanks for the info on the helo trips. Strange to see the Twinstar 355AG flying without a Wescam on it. :O)

Thanks for the Pavehawk shots, I was so damn proud watchin our boy's do their work from the beach.

Here's the last batch for me...

I wish I was on the Atlantic Ocean side for the wicked vaps on these B-1 passes!

What a great week......

Awesome F-86 shots!
Theres just something about the F-86 on takeoff and climbout that makes it different from every other plane.

B-17 and the first 2 A-10 shots are ace Fred. I really love the SNJ smoke shot, there's just something so cool about it.

Great stuff Fred, I love the daytime HDR shots of the A-10!

I finally got around to finishing up my photos from the weekend:

Day 1 (at the beach)
I wasn't that happy with most of my shots from the beach; most of the aircraft were too far away, and coupled with all the haze, good shots were rare. I ended up leaving around when the T'birds came on to beat the traffic, since so much of my shooting turned out to be a waste of time. (All photos located here).

Day 2 (at Republic)
I had much more success shooting at Republic. Planes were closer, and there was more variety available for shots. (All photos located here).

I was on top of my car, parked along the fence along New Highway, on the east side of 14/32. I started out there, and at noon switched over a spot on the west side of 14/32 to stay in good light. (When the Thunderbirds came back, I took up a spot along the shoulder of 110.)
