Cool! Two airshow posts in one weekend for me to see. Excellent capture of the F-15 with a hint of afterburner. Again, I really like the Stearman biplane, excellent lighting. The first two Blue Angel pics are from the same loop, the line-abreast formations one of the hardest to do good.

Thanks everyone, it was a pretty cool day for our lil' ol' spot here in Montana. I spent a lot of the day sitting in my seat thinking wow I really like the planes that make the funny patterns in the sky .

My beau is quite a plane and history buff, so I actually learnt a fair bit (when I was listening), seeing them in real life is so much cooler though! The accountant from his (my fiance's) work is/was an old mustang pilot from back in Vietnam so on the Saturday they had the old codger go up with the blue angels and the pilot let him fly a time or two when they werent in formation. I think my favorites were the warbirds though, just seems amazing how something that huge manages to stay up in the big blue sky.


Thanks :mrgreen:
