Nice pictures, I like the F-4 Phanthom ones. I was there too this weekend on Saturday, the air demos weren't especially well placed for photography relative to the sun. I got some good pictures from the show, but a lot of them are backlit. I missed the F-4 demo cause I was in the 5 mile lineup for parking arghhhhhh!

thanks rockone. that fat albert was something to see taking off like that.if i recall right they didnt kick in the rockets till they left the runway then they were on a 45 degree incline.it was something to see for sure.
thanks jsgaudet. i managed to get in the gates before 10 am on saturday. i left at 8 am for a 1 hour trip. i know what you mean about the backlighting.it was a problem for me as well.
and thanks also to txlerman for the nice comment.

Pardon me for editing your photo. The backlighting difficulty can be compensated for *a bit* using Levels, and Shadow/Highlight in Photoshop. Some air shows I just don't bother going to sometimes because I know that certain ones have you looking into the sun.
