...the lighting and weather hasn't improved on the images since they've been waiting on my hard drive:D, but these are the last half-way decent ones so I thought I'd share 'em.

Nice feeling in the F-80 one. The last could use a touch more contrast?

I like the shot of the Stearman...pretty impressive slip for such a big bird.

The F-80 is my favorite photograph.

John Mohr in his Stearman is something to watch, if you can see from the top side opposite from where this image was taken, you just might see him waving at the crowd!

BTW, #4 *should* be a T-33, not an F-80, I am pretty certain F-80 are single seat only.

Thank you Frank! After looking at it again with fresh eyes, I agree totally...posted one with boosted contrast below, thanks again!

Thanks! John puts on an amazing show with the Stearman...kinda defies gravity at times. I thought the F-80 (T-33) shot was junk (too backlit), but after playing with photoshop I sort of liked the mood it created and kept it.

John Mohr comes to Manitowoc every year, a few years ago, I got the opposite side shot with him waving while doing this maneuver...too cool! This year I think the 30mph winds (from right to left in that shot) made him face the plane away from the crowd like that. Thanks for the correction on the T-33, that's what the announcer at the show called it too, but I didn't know for sure.
