3) Closest I got for the passes. Very hard to get overlapping.

#2 is near perfect, #3 same, but #4 is absolutely unique! Great timing!

They weren't lined up correctly for #2. This was the most overlapping I could get. When they went by the 5 plane was about 5 feet in front of the 6 plane. I got one shot of the passes where they would have been directly behind one another, but the rear plane was about 15-20 feet high so they didn't overlap at all. Bummer.

Good series!

3) Closest I got for the passes. Very hard to get overlapping.

After missing it several times, I'd kill for that shot! :D

I had the perfect timing on one shot, but unfortunately the pilots did not.

Combo of the light and having an incorrect white balance. But I liked the way it turned out.

Glad to see I am not the only one who was having issues with focusing on them. It was a great show though none the less.

Can't say I was having any focusing troubles. I think I got fairly sharp images. Not sure what you meant by that.

Might just be me with the way I see it, the yellow mixed with the blue just always looks out of focus to me for some reason.
