Oh I love air shows! Looks like a lot of fun.

My faves are 1, 5, 7 & 8. I swear, it looks like that guy shouldn't be standing where he was in pic 1. That's a little too close for me.

As I'm looking at these I think to myself ok so I like 1, 2, 3 is nice, 4 and then I realized I couldnt pick just a few lol.

I especially like 3 tho

Thanks guys! I like 7 the best too. Ive never been to an airshow with sea and a mountain backdrop.....roll on gelendzhik 2008! About number 1, I think the guy standing there was thinking 'What the hell have they done to my poor plane'. He had to assist it up the ramp!

Cheers
Tim ......off to Key West tomorrow!

Yep, nice series all right! 2, 7 and 8 are my faves. Lucky you, getting to combine the aviation photos with a trip to the Black Sea.
