Andrews AFB 5/14-5/16

[chrisparypa]

AWESOME shots guys. Question, was the Boeing C40C open to walk thru or exterior only? I was very fortunate at the Airliners International convention in 2006 that our Andrews tour included interior access to a C-32 (757) which was a great experience.

It was open, I have some shots from inside Will post my shots soon, they still need to be processed in LR....

Great captures...........I especially like the F-22 head-on shot. Just curious.....what lens or lenses did you guys use for the air show?

I'm debating whether to use my 70-200mm f/2.8 + 1.4 (90-280mm) or 1.7 (119-340mm) teleconverter for the practice runs at Jones Beach prior to the air show. My other option is to rent a 300mm f/2.8 and slap a the 1.4 teleconverter (which would give me a reach of 420mm). Any recommendations are helpful.

Interesting statics this year:



























Lastly, on the flight home, couldn't resist:

the security was very interesting...their literature said no bags allowed larger than one cubic foot. So we went in with only our cameras and I asked one of the guards if bags were allowed if they were inspected and found to be solely used for camera gear. He said yes, and we went back to grab our bags. As soon as we walked in the gate we were told to turn around and leave the bags. I subsequently asked three other guards how they determine what one cubic foot is, and none had a valid answer. My only response was "it's what the Air Force wants"...interesting how all those tax dollars can't come up with a method for determining the size of a bag. Suffice it to say I was stuck shooting the entire show (static and flight demos) with my 300 f/4 and my 1.4tc...so much for wide angles! All ranting aside, the beer has gotten the better of me and I will only post my first three edited shots. Enjoy! (More to come...)
