I've got the same shot from Miramar, also horrible quality.

So do I...

a few from the air show this past weekend at Langley AFB - Hampton, Va. -

(XSi with the 55-250)

Man there are some freakin cool shots in this thread... awesome.
Here's my little contribution, a C152 crosswind the the circuit as a Cb rolls through. 40D and 75-300, heaps of extra contrast in post

Here are a few of my favorites from last year....

That last one is WOW!!! hoping to get to some airshows this year. Went to Biggin Hill which was my first last year. I will try and find some worthy of posting here.

Agreed x 10. My jaw dropped.

Heh, heh Scuff strikes again. Love botht those 'crossover' images ~ top notch.

Are you going to any airshows this year???

I like it! It is an interesting angle and image, just a pity the control tower is growing out of the cockpit and the towing link has been left attached.

Is this a Starfighter? Latterly known as 'death trap' or Flying Coffin because of the number that were crashed by, I think, the Luftwaffe???

It is quite hard to move that tower This is indeed a Starfighter. It was called "the widow maker" by the Germans. Thing is the Canadians actually had a higher accident-rate. Spain had the lowest... This Starfigher was delivered to the Luftwaffe. It has only 73 flight-hours... This one was the first Starfighter build bij Fokker (S/N8001)

Ah my addled brains, perhaps the Flying Coffin is another poorly reputed aircraft???

With such low flight hours is she still flown or is the towing bar just to move her out of the way as needed?
