Here's a few photos from the Alliance Airshow last weekend. Good time...but the sky was solid overcast all of Saturday and Sunday....makes picture taking difficult.

Great pictures Zane, thanks for sharing. I really like that C-5 shot. It looks like it was an awesome show. The Horseman in Sabre's must have been fantastic.

According to the Horsemen website they we're schedule for this show so I would guess: Steve Hinton (lead), Ed Shipley (left wing) and Dan Friedkin (right wing)...

Thanks for the kind words...I had a blast at the show despite the weather.

Yeah the Horsemen flew the three ship Sabre routine....it was a beautiful thing to see.
Hinton, Friedkin and Shipley were the pilots.

Thanks for the pics, Zane! Was hoping to see a certain PV-2 make it there, but..... I love the shot where the guy is outside the Goonie, he is doing a remarkable job keeping up with the aircraft....I bet he was really flappin' those arms, good job on the shutter speed freezing he arms!
