My first time posting to Motorsports. This is the first time that I've made it down to watch the unlimmitted hydroplanes. I was impressed with how quite they were. These pictures are all take from Belle Isle.

1. U.S. Navy's West Coast Super Hornet Demo Team flys by the Detroit Renaissance Center

Are you coming back to the River Today?

#3 is your best shot.

#2 is not displaying/ linking at all.

#4 & #8 are out of focus, although your exif shows F/4 @ 1/2000th, which is more than sufficient to freeze the Unlimiteds.

Hydro's actually float quite well ;) They have plugs just like regular boats.

Seeing Roostertails, is a whole nother experience from the perspective of the Roostertail on the Roostertail Corner.

Thanks for your feedback. When I looked at this thread today #2 didn't load, but when I refreshed it showed. I'm not sure what is the cause. #4 and #8 are cropped more than the others which may be why they don't look as sharp.

I've changed the hosting. I hope there won't be viewing issues now.
