I recon the 'Red Arrahs' should have 'God Bless you' painted on the nose of their jets too.. wink
Nice images, good selection. Nice to see an Austrian Typhoon (sorry, Eurofighter..ahem) too, looks very 'uncluttered' compared to ours, which have massive gaudy markings on the tail.

This is becoming one of my pet peeves w/ Rhode Island on Friday's and on the weekends. They have people coming in with P&S camera's trying to capture jet teams, then they'll get up on the scissor lift and just waste space or worse, move around while others are trying to shoot rocking the lift. I've stopped using the media area just for these reasons.

I'm hoping this won't be the case at Oceana this year because they're saying the media area is smaller than last year.

People with P&S Cameras have no place in a *Media Area* IMHO. What I had was paid for "Spotter pack" so at least these people had paid the same as I. But if there's place for Media to work from, they should be working media photogs, and those don't use small cameras.
