[singlepic id=1908 w=480 float=left] 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
[singlepic id=1870 w=480 float=left] 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 @… Continue reading
Gizmodo – Blue Angels Fat Albert[singlepic id=1869 w=480 float=left] 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… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1867 w=480 float=left] 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
[singlepic id=1866 w=480 float=left] A quartet of stunt planes – all of different color combinations. I can read Embry Riddle on one and ubokia on the other, so maybe they’re just painted up to best advertise something to the crowd. Picture taken with Canon 60D, EF 70-300mm lens @ 300mm,… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1865 w=480 float=left] 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… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1864 w=480 float=left] 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
[singlepic id=1604 w=480 float=left] 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… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1511 w=480 float=left] 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
[singlepic id=1510 w=480 float=left] 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….
