Well, the weather was great in the morning but once planes started flying it got overcast and shooting it was a PITA. Obviously the sky is overblown to get any detail out of the planes, but I think there were some good ones. The Dauntless was especially photogenic for me...

This was my first time seeing Fifi, and she was a BEAUTY!
Enjoy, any C&C is more than welcome!

Superb.

I recommend looking at the whole album.

Very nice! They're all well done, and I really like the DOF on the tank barrel on the Flickr page. I saw a Dauntless fly this weekend too, but they never put the fake bombs on it like the one you saw, and I was just thinking that it would look good with those yesterday while I was looking at it. I also like seeing the Helldiver - we don't have any of those in SoCal.

Thanks all, I appreciate the comments!

As for the Helldiver Ken, I believe that is the only flying Helldiver left, it's owned by the West Texas Wing of the CAF so I'm kinda surprised it hasn't made its way out to Cali. I've gone to this show for a couple of years now and it's been there each year.

I liked how the tank barrel shot turned out to! I didn't recognize it initially, after I got home I looked it up and it turned out to be Stug III Tank Killer.

Great pictures, great. Look at the one with the Tora Tora BT-13/Val. The guy looks as though he can hardly see over the control panel!
