Went to the Airshow here today ... great show, as usual. Looking through my photos rather quickly, I had one that caught my eye. Thought I'd share it for a laugh.

If you're a Blue Angel fan ... Great news! Looks like there will be a new generation of Blue Angels coming along. Please don't be offended by this ... it happened in front of thousands of people watching the show

Great shot! What setup did you use to capture that?

10D with 100-400 L lens (IS setting #2). I had the camera set at 200 ISO and was using shutter priority at 1/250 (might have been 1/350).

It just cracked me up when I saw it.

Classic maneuver... it's called the 'fortus', by the way. I have no idea what that means...

Now THAT'S a nice shot. I cant imagine how difficult it must be to fly that precisely and at those speeds while upside down. :shock:

I got the same shot from Pensacola Beach in July, 2006. I was on a 12th floor balcony so my perspective is a bit different... wish my color was as good as yours, but nice shot

what do you mean new generation of Blue Angels?? Well, what does that "position" remind you of?

I have that almost same shot from the same day. I was on my boat in Little Sabine watching the Blues this year. Great times were had. Great shot.

This is cracking me up.....so many of us there clicking away. I think I have the exact same shot as well. We stayed at the Hampton Inn and were there for all 3 days of practice and show. I'll share some pics today or tomorrow once I get them downloaded and cleaned up (we just got home last night).
