Howdy all,
I had a great time at the March Air Show this year. I was able to get media credentials for the show and was able to ride on a C-17 during a refueling operation with a KC-135. That was plain Sick! :P

Here are some of the shots I took away from the show. C&C always appreciated :)

All the people with media & press credentials were treated to either a flight on the C-17 or the KC-135 :)

Thanks. I have the 600 mkii, but since it was my first air show I used the 100-400 mkii. I really like pic number 2.

Great set. Looking forward to more throughout the season, including a few of the new paint scheme on the CF 18 Demo Team.

Nothing in the way of CC I can offer, your shots are spot on.

Remember, Planes of Fame next weekend! :-)
