Hagar's vintage jet shots reminded me of these old pix taken at my first airshow... sadly, I didn't get a shot of the Vampire. I think I took a ride in the Saratoga first, then ran out of film. Or maybe I was too enthralled; I don't remember. Oh, well. No flyby shots at all, either- it was a cheesy Instamatic, and I knew they wouldn't come out.
  But...

A SNJ...the wing with the roundel belongs to a Chippy, I think- don't remember.
...
The Coors Light Mini-Jet (what a show this guy put on!)
...
My very first time ever in the front seat of an airplane- Piper Saratoga... took a quick ride over the lush hills of Vermont for $10.

Attending this little show was a random impulsive decision made while on a bike tour through the area (saw a flyer at the general store), but it changed my life forever!!  Grin Grin

Wow. What nice memories. That's a great aerial shot.

Wish I had a few photos of my first air show (1949) but I was only 6 at the time. Like you, going to that show changed my life for ever - good or bad, I'm still not sure about that. Roll Eyes Wink

Don't think my Dad had a camera then. I lost all my old photos over the years but they were B&W anyway, taken with my ancient Box Brownie with a dodgy viewfinder. I'm still trying to make up for it.
