thanks! nice shot from you as well!

your shots in this thread are pretty much what i'm striving to get to quality wise.

Thats nice of you to say. I would if you are able look into a 400MM at the least.The 400 5.6 is a great lens. Great quality and very affordable 1200.00 or 1300.00 for a L lens that is very sharp .

Falcon w/ Dassault temporary registration and one of my company Dash8s just taking off behind it. Wasn't expecting her to pop in but it looks cool.

Delta 767-400 (DAL040) stopped into Goose Bay this morning for a mechanical emergency. Unfortunately it was too dark when she landed... so here's the departure!

Anyone headed down to the airshow in San Diego today? I think I am going to head down and check it out. Sounds cool. I'll post here tomorrow.

Update: Traffic was horrible. Got to the Coronado Bridge at about 12:00 (after two hour drive from Los Angeles). An hour later when the show started, I was at the top of the bridge. The camera was in the back, so only used my cell phone to shoot the Blue Angels as they flew over. (Thank goodness for a large sunroof!).

Got to the parking lot at 3:30, just after the last sortie of an entire carrier squadron flew over. I was told there would be more planes flying by again for a "second show", so I brought my telephoto lens. No other planes were up flying. All other planes were on the ground, and I left my wide angle in the car. Got a few close up shots and stuff, but this was my first airshow. I will most certainly be better prepared for the next show I go to. Was fun to walk around and look at planes up close, talk to pilots, etc.
