I went to the airshow today and got some pictures, here are four of my favorites.

#1: Helicopter maneuvers
...

#2: Does anyone know what type of aircraft these are?
...

#3: Look closely, there are two aircraft here; one is upside down.
...

#4: Blue Angels splitting up!
...

Thanks for looking!
Comments and advice both welcome.  Smiley

Love that first shot, don't see many like that.  Smiley
At first glance it looks like #1 is headed straight down.  Grin

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Thanks! I hadn't noticed that, kinda makes you dizzy to look at it from a different perspective like that!  Grin

Yeah, it was great! It took me forever to get any good shots though! I took like 50-60 pics and got about 12 that turned out good.  Grin No editing though - raw photos  Cool

I took 575.  Cheesy
No idea how many good ones, haven't had much time to look them over.
I probably won't post them till next week because I'm really busy and am going camping in a few days. Cool

Wow!!! I only took 50-60 for to reasons, one, because I only had two batteries, two because I wanted to watch some!  Cool
