Tractor Posted July 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAOLE Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitrousbird Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 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.

Tractor Posted July 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 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.
