The Liberty Belle B-17 was in St. Paul this weekend and I dropped in to get a few shots. She flew out of Holman Field in downtown St. Paul, MN.

I had some serious brain fade when I packed my gear; I left my tripod and tc's at home:o This left me shooting my 400mm at 1/125-1/250th handheld. Not a big surprise the majority of shots were soft.

Enough of the story on to the photos!

With flights every hour it was like my own private airshow!
