Proof positive that the Canon 1D4, despite being several years old, makes a great aviation camera.
And they can be picked up for around 500 bucks! Slap on the 100-400 II and you're good to go!

Great job, bandfan.

A rare joint practice with the Thunderbirds visiting NAF El Centro for a week!

Thanks Frank. They are only a year old to me...lol. Only took me about 30 years to give up on trying to master that Pentax AF at an airshow....

A year ago today, weather was brutal, 43 degrees C (approx 110F), taken 20 seconds apart at 5:15pm into the afternoon sun about the same time as many people and cameras were overheating.

Sometimes a bit of cloud or rain can be nice at an airshow, lol.

The F-16 was coming down from a steep climb, and just happened to cross nicely in front of the moon today. Never thought I'd get a shot like this! Would have preferred the top-side, but I'm not complaining!

Superb artwork! A+

Cygnus, is that the same Heritage Flight that do the airshows with the Spitfire and P51?

Heritage Flight appears to be a catch all description to cover a display two or more aircraft representing different eras of USAF operations. I imagine the Spit was added as it was the Legends display.
This is the Heritage pairing at the Blue Angels homecoming display in 2018
