It's nearly a fortnight since I went to the Fighters airshow at Omaka and haven't had much time to do any processing, so here's a couple I've picked out. I could beat myself up about including the edge of someone's hat in #2 but think it doesn't look too bad....

Thanks all, also a big thanks to the POTN member who loaned me a 300mm lens to shoot the event with (my 100-400 zoom is very sticky resulting in some pretty ugly framing)

cheers. :-)

If you like the Spitfire you should see this video. There is some foul language from the reporter so you may want to keep the speakers low.

thanks all for the kind comments - the Spitfire PV270 is owned by Brendon Deere who has had the aircraft painstakingly restored. An awesome machine and a privilege to be able to watch it fly at an airshow.

The Merlin engine has a sound all of it's own. Amazing noise, saw my first spitfire at an airshow in the UK and it gave me goosebumps!
