I would have liked to seen more prop blur in #1, but otherwise they are all very nice! :)

Looks like two others to me (P51 in the first?).

Nice shots. I knew I wasn't the only POTN member out shooting today. :mrgreen: I was at 52nd and Alaska -- didn't get there in time to park and get to Genesee Park, but things worked out pretty well from where I was, too. I'll have to start a thread of my own soon.

A tad dark ?
But other wise great shots
More blur on the prop though

Yeah, me too, but was still shooting with my 'jet settings'. I did try a few shots with a slower shutter speed to get prop blur, but they came out a bit too blurry (I must have had real shaky hands then).

Not sure what the one with the A-10 is. The last one is a Staudacher S-300D.

Cool, will keep an eye out!

Brightness/darkness level looks ok on my calibrated monitor. Last year I was shooting too slow for jets and they all had a slight blur, so this year I quickened the shutter speed for when the jets were flying... then got confused when there was both a jet and a prop plane, haha. Things to learn for next time around :)

Things to learn for next time around :)I keep my M mode set for jets, my TV mode for props, and my AV mode for people if the Jet mode isn't already adequate. A twist of the knob and I have what I want without resetting my M mode. In AV mode I move it all over to what I wish, but M mode and TV mode I dial in and keep there under most conditions.

Just wondering what kind of lens you are using, it looks like you are right next to them. Great shots by the way.
