Cherry Festival Airshow 2006 – Navy demo plane. I don’t have any particular reason for posting this one, but I do have a lot of air show photos. Picture taken with Canon Rebel XT, EF 70-300 lens @ 300mm, 1/500 sec shutter, f/8, ISO 100
Ending the airshow pictures as any proper airshow ends – with a shot of the Blue Angels. Good timing, but I must have been tracking #3 just a bit because the tail of #6 is slightly blurry. Picture taken with Canon 60D, EF 70-300mm lens @ 300mm, 1/3200 sec, f/8.0,… Continue reading
Gizmodo – Blue Angels Fat Albert Apparently I queued up a few more airshow pictures. I suspect I’ve posted a picture of this guy before, but this is Fat Albert – the Blue Angels transport C-130 Hercules. When I was a kid I saw a demo of the plane taking… Continue reading
Here’s five people pulling somewhat the same maneuver as yesterday’s planes. I think these were US Army jumpers based on some subsequent pictures. Picture taken with Canon 60D, EF 70-300mm lens @ 300mm, 1/4000 sec, f/8.0, ISO 800

How about a few more from the Chicago airshow. This one’s an F-18, like the Blue Angels, but without the snazzy paint job. I’m not sure what maneuver it was pulling to get the vapor trails of the wings, but it’s pretty cool. Picture taken with Canon 60D, EF 70-300mm… Continue reading
Another airshow shot – this time from Chicago of the Oracle stunt plane. Probably could have done with a slightly lower ISO and shutter speed. Picture taken with Canon 60D, EF 70-300mm lens @ 300mm, 1/6400 sec, f/8.1, ISO 800
Another from a few years back… I mentioned early on that I had lots of airshow pictures. This one is of the Blue Angels from the Cherry Festival Airshow in 2009. The Blue Angels were typically an every other year occurrence there, sometimes substituted by the Airforce Picture taken with… Continue reading
Cherry Festival Airshow 2015 – Coast Guard demonstration rescue jump. Last airshow picture for the daily… Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL 18-200mm lens @ 200mm, 1/1000 sec shutter, f/8, ISO 200
Cherry Festival Airshow 2015 – Coast Guard demonstration swimmer. This was taken on day two and for the most part I was kayaking, but I landed for a bit during the Coast Guard rescue demo since I had better location than the day before for pictures. Picture taken with Sony… Continue reading
