Any of you like Air Shows?

Taken at Kingsville NAS

There was a thick fog when we arrived early that morning;

The Fog certainly presented some interesting photographic challenges;

This Customs and Border Enforcement does touch and go's at NAS Corpus often. I have pics of it there across Oso bay from where I live as well;

Image

This one actually flew

The Mig 17 pilot Randy Ball is a friend of mine. 1611 is sporting an all new paint job for 2014. :-)

Feel free to send him the photo. They did a cool "dog fight" with him and the T-33

I'll have to be sure to show those to the hubby, he'd been wanting to go, but just really wasn't up to going.

The microjet is called the BD-5J, and was originally sold as a kit plane. I saw two of them together at an air show many moons ago painted up like Coors Lite cans.

I grew up around airports and air shows, have worked Ham radio communications at many a air show at Ellington and have to say I never get tired of good airplane pictures. That first shot of the F18 on the flight line in the morning fog is stunning.
I love the sound smell of jet fuel in the morning.
