I took my cousins to the museum this afternoon, it was horribly cloudy so go easy on C/C. All taken with Sigma 10-20, outside were @ ISO 100, inside anywhere from 400-1600. In some I realize I should have stopped down a bit to get more of the plane in focus, but lighting just did not allow. I didnt bring my 430ex, none were flashed.
Here are a few I liked.

Supposedly this is a one of a kind, only two built, the other crashed. The owner spent 7 years restoring this one, then passed away, and his wife donated it.

This A10 was shot in the tail, engine, and fuselage, and still made it back, with a lady pilot!

There were a bunch more planes to see as well. If you are ever around Sacramento I'd recommend checking it out. Its at McClellan Park. Formerly McClellan AFB (KMCC).

Got PS? You can make something out of those shots with the gray skies with Layer Masks: Tough Exposure question (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=421009)

Thanks Frank, it is quite a story. There are vets that work (volunteer) there, I could talk to those guys for hours. Theyre very interesting to talk to. Thanks for the PS tip.It's a great story & I wondered what they'd done with it.
