I, it will be a year you shouldn't miss as the Blue Angels will also be there this year.

 

You know, the blue angles formation flying never really impressed me. I like seeing what one can do solo. Do like seeing what an F-18 can do solo though. Very impressive when it doesn't have to worry about hitting another plane.

If my 10 month old son was a year older I would be all over this. The noise would be too much for him to handle because there is know way he would let me put hearing protection on him.

I watch the blues every tuesday amd wednesday, we are their home base. Their solo routine never gets old. If you guys have the chance to watch them up there, i highly recommend you go see them.

Wow! Blue Sky Chalet tickets seem to be a great deal for $99...covered seating, free beer and food, great view, parking shuttle...

 

I'd love to go, but I was going to take my daughter to TORKS (http://www.torks.com) tomorrow after Cars and Coffee. R/C Airplanes!!!:D We'll definitely go to the Dayton Air Show as she gets a little older...

I'll also be seeing them the first weekend in August in Seattle. Seafair weekend is a blast.

Your Z > 800mm

 

But, it is nice.

 

400mm through the fence at the shitty viewing area at the Cbus Zoo.

This image is where the pilots had their wings 18 inches away from the next planes canopy...very impressive.

Was a decent time yesterday. After the first set of skydivers, the rest were a snooze fest. Red biplane was cool, the black one after was a let down in comparison (and everyone had enough of it from the last one).

 

Blue Angels were cool - they needed to do more high-speed runs though. The afterburner turns on all of the jets were cool...probably my favorite parts of the show. The bomber runs were awesome as well.

 

I got a few pics, but just crappy iPhone photos.

We had a good time. Didn't get sunburned this year. I enjoy the displays more than the show because as some have said it gets old and to me after I've seen an F-18 demo not much else is gonna impress me. Did anyone get a good shot of the F-18 creating that cone of condensed air around it during a high speed pass? I got just the beginnings of it, but wasn't paying attention and already stopped my shooting when it was in full effect.

 

I was thinking I should get a photography pass and go there with a 100-400 maybe next year. Doesn't cost much more and you get to park on the flight line.

saw that at last years show was really cool to see, and I didn't have my camera ready when it happened :( I just wish they would demo the f-22 like they did at the Rickenbacker air show back in 2007
