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;



This one actually flew

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

I have a lot more pics here; http://smg.photobucket.com/user/txinves ... %20Airshow

Nice pix, looked like a good show.

There is one coming soon in south Oklahoma. I like that show. the mirco jet and the Russain Mi-25 were there too.

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.

Great pictures!

I love airshows. Thanks for posting!

Thanks. Air shows are what sparked my interest in photography.

Those were some great shots! I love the airshow and its been a while since Ive seen one. Thanks! I miss seeing planes like those.

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.

Thanks jbarn, excellent photos / excellent subject!

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.
