I was at Paso Robles last weekend for the "Trojans and Hoovers" fly in. It was a lot of fun with a lot of flying. I have 7 galleries from the event posted to my website at:

Those are some great photos. What kind of equipment are you using? I like how you got the propellers as a shimmering disc in a couple of shots. What kind of settings or technique do you use to get that effect?

Thanks guys. For these shots, I was using a Nikon D80 with the 18-200 VR lens. I vary my shutter speed for different shots depending on lighting and conditions. For the full prop arc shot in the example. I was at 1/60 shutter speed in shutter priority mode. With air-to-air work, I go anywhere between 1/50 and 1/400.

I am glad to see there were plane in the post, I was thinking it was spam about having safe sex with a vacuum cleaner....................................

T-28s are very pretty in the air, as long as you don't have to hear them. Kind of like Fran Dresher, easy on the eye, painful to the ears
