Wonderful shots of some of the most beautiful (and rare) aircraft out there! You must have a STEADY hand for those takeoff shots... the background motion blur is amazing!

He has just landed after the Barnstorming part of the display, as part of this they burst balloons with the prop. Apparently he "caught" one as well!
