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;
This one actually flew
Opening the show
AS you can see from the smoke, he is flying backwards while vertical

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.

Re: Any of you like Air Shows?
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.

Re: Any of you like Air Shows?
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.
