Al, great shots! keep them coming, please!
Are you using available light or are you able to add some light source for your photos?

It's a bit ambient light and a bit of flashlight painting using a long exposure.

Glad you all are enjoying the shots.

It's getting to be that time where my shots posted will slow down as i'm out there from about 10am - 1am and it doesn't leave me with much time to work on pics. I'll put up anything that stands out if I can.

Bummer to hear no F2G.

Well done, be sure to get the 787 if it stays over night as well...

And Twilight Tear is a real beauty. Interesting tanks on it.

Last try - Wifi connection in Camp Scholler is very weak. Have lost the first two trys (I think) and this will be it until next week. Sorry if it winds up being a duplicate.

Only T-34 and T-28 formations in yesterday's show - T-34 Tail End Charlie looked a bit odd:

Image

Had a nice flyover on the WB line when Aeroshell took off - funny story on the flag in the Mustang convertible...they drove it down the taxi way for the National Anthem because someone forgot to invite a jump plane :shock:

Image

Finally, would like to let the 4-ship L-39 flight know that their break to land looked great behind the REO show!

Image

Hope this one goes...

Something tells me that the 4 Mustangs are the CAF Mustangs.

I was thinking that too - although one of them may be Cavanaugh's "The Brat"...

I thought it was "Man O War". Look at the shot from the Thunder Thread. It has a CAF Tramp Stamp on it.
