Chris, I understand just what you mean about the brutal conditions presented to the photographers, and I'm super glad you went ahead and posted some of your shots anyway. I remember perfectly well from previous years how splendid your photos get when the weather and air are clearer. If the light isn't perfect and there's haze in the air in these, your pix are still giving us excellent looks at some lovely aircraft. Thanks for posting!
