The weather started off good, but got worse, then a little better, as I think the photos will show. It's a pretty impressive show, and worth the drive from San Diego to Las Vegas.

Definitely nice shots.

I can't say mine look anything spectacular. Not exactly sure why they came out looking like they did, complete garbage. Oh well I'll write it off as a photographers worst day x2 and try again next time.

Thanks everyone. Panther, what was wrong with your photos? I can't recall, what camera and lens are you using?

Here's a bunch more:

Arthonon, is there any way I can get that F-86, the last one on the first post, in full size, it can have your stamp on it if it needs to. I am a big F-86 fan and that would be a great wallpaper. If not, no problem, thanks in advance.

Hi 24_fan. I'm glad you like it. If you let me know what desktop resolution you'd like, I will get you one in that size.

Dave, thanks! It was a good show. Last year was the first time they did flare firings and it caught me off guard. This year I was watching for it, and did a little better getting photos of it, but not much. The wind caused the aircraft to reverse the direction they've used the past few times for takeoffs, so I missed some other shots as well.

I think this Raptor shot shows how the weather was moving in in the afternoon:


24_Fan, I will have to process the photo this evening when I get home (since I don't have the file at work), and will PM you a link when it's done.
