I used a Canon 40D. I shoot everything using M, manual mode, so I have full control over all the settings. I never touch any of those modes you see with the little pictures like the little guy running for sports mode or the mountains for outdoors/landscape mode.

Thanks.

i was just thinking today, as i was struggling to get a decent photo with my canon A720IS at mid-o, that i should invest in a piece of photographic equipment worth its weight in gold. then i got caught up in the fact that i used the word "equipment".

No they won't start showing up in airshows until they are in service for a while.

Yeah you aren't going to be able to get great action type shots with the A720IS. A decent camera and lens to capture that sort of thing isn't too bad until you want to start freezing action and need/want to be able to shoot in overcast conditions or poor light. A good lens is more important then a good camera.

great pics!!!

Thanks!

No I was disappointed they didn't even have one on display. It's an older aircraft, but even my 12 year old asked if we were going to be able to see one.

[magley64]

nasa has the last 2 flyable aircraft, the other 30 are in various museums

[The King]

I believe their is one on the USS Intrepid in NYC...

Yeah but that's a museum also and it isn't operational.

[The King]

I thought he just wanted to know where one was. I doubt you will ever see one fly again.

[fusion]

Well that's easy enough, I think we still have one sitting out here at the museum.

The B-25 is real cool. The kids were amazed at the number of gunners on such a small bomber. The F104 was only ok, but there's not much you can expect out of "the missile with a man in it" especially with the F-16 and F-18 flying before them. Even their high speed passes seemed less impressive than the others. They are really cool to see around still though.

Thanks!

if you think the b25 has alot of gunners. check out a b17 flying fortress
