Slipping the Surly Bonds...

[AIRIC]

Sorry for taking so long since my last post but it has been a great hot sunny summer for flying and I have been kept busy every weekend. These are a few recent captures from the Thunder Over Michigan airshow, a great World War Two show.

Hurricane and P-51 Mk.IV Mustang

These are from a T-6 Texan trainer formation with a BT-13 added in

"Smoke On" across show centre

The group shot. I'm on the far left

and a little aerobatics just for fun

Yes, it has been a good summer. It started off slow but has really picked up. Seaplane fly-in next weekend, Woohoo!

Happy Landings,

Eric

You have been busy. what can i say? I love them all, a quality series there.

the best shots for me are the second from bottom and the bottom one, really nice work

 

[HoboSyke]

Great shots!!!! WOW.!!!!

 

[Knopka]

Wonderful job, as usual. I like the third picture from the bottom. Did you have to flip your camera for that shot?

What a terrific series. Every shot is awesome. Those acrobatic ones make me feel as if I"m right in the plane with you (but, uhhh, my stomach's feeling a bit queasy the more I look at 'em....)

Eric, do you have any idea just how much I hate you right now

You must tell me where you get the BIG tripod from

Two of my favorite planes in one shot, but better than that its an air to air shot. Think I'll give up photography after seeing those, but before I do please Please PLEASE post more

Terrific series as always Eric. What kind of lens do you use when shooting stuff like this?

 

[DepthAfield]

what can I say, Eric... all wonderful! Especially those acrobatics!

Thanks everyone, as you can see this is what I was born to do. It was a blast and there is more on the way in a few weeks. Most of the shots were taken with a 24-105 Nikkor lens.

Happy Landings,

Eric
