Great pics. What is the story with the Heron? I had no idea that one of those was flying in the US (and still with the original engines).


I wish I knew more about it. It's the first time i've seen one. I'm glad I stayed around later on Sunday to get to see the smokey startup and fly-bys.

I'm shooting with a Canon XSi, EF-S 18-55mm IS & EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS lenses. Pretty basic stuff for a DSLR. I'm hoping to add some new lenses by next season but with so many hobbies it's hard to save up.

ahh...sneaky subject line.

I'll just post a link to all my pics of this Storch from over the past few years. There are some close ups among them.

As always, thanks for looking and the nice comments. I love to share my pics with you guys.
