Well since I'm relatively new here I've never posted any of my various air show pictures and since we're all aviation buffs I thought I'd share. I'm by no means a professional so don't expect much Tongue

, but I do love going to as many shows as possible.

Note some of these pictures are blurry, poorly cropped, overexposed, underexposed, poor attempts at being creative, crooked, or in other words - "unedited" so know that going in Cool

.

Anyway here is some of my collection, enjoy!

Lots of interesting shots there. Some of those aircraft I've never seen nor likely to see. Shocked

I think more people would see this in the Photos forum.

Well from what I read the photos forum requires you to upload them to this site and do it the same way as screen shots. Since I have a couple hundred pictures I don't want to take the time to do that. If the mods see this and it would fly, I'd much rather it be there.

I think overall the U2 is something I'll never see again. He happened to be flying over us and requested permission to do a couple fly bys so it wasn't even scheduled, then he shot back up to 45,000 feet. The announcer said it would only take him "a couple minutes" to do that too Shocked

(its climb rate is classified still I believe). He also said in 50 years of doing airshows that's only the second time he's seen one.

Those rules apply to posting images in the body of your post. Posting links like you've done in this topic is fine.

I don't think I've ever seen a U-2 in the air but I was referring to some of the aircraft in your Boneyard pics.

Ah I wasn't sure about this, well instead of starting a new one if the mods could move it I'd appreciate it.

Yeah some of the boneyard planes are really unique. I was surprised they had a Mig-29 though, the nozzles on those engines are HUGE!

Wow Those are really cool. Shocked

Although I can't seem to find the U2 Picture Undecided

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.
