Nice collection, Robert I like the color in the third one.

Thank you Terri.

Nice shots. It might be cool to shoot the c-17 with a very wide angle from that perspective.

Very nice Bobbie, brought back some memories with the C17.

Nice shots

Great shots Robert.
I'd love to go to any air show to shoot too, it has been ages.

The only suggestion that comes to mind would be a slower shutter speed, combined with panning, on the F15 to show more motion with the shot.

damm the f15 almost rubbed its tail on the floor. quite a angle landing he did.

Thanks Zane. The widest I had was the kit lens, but I can imagine what your suggesting. I would like to be able to have a shot like that.

Get out there and shoot some airshows Jim!

I know what you mean on the slower shutter speed. That one was F/8 and 1/500", don't know what I was thinking. Although, the F15 was not really moving to fast during that landing, by show center, the plane was going slower than 100MPH.

The pilot was demonstrating how the F15 can land on a runway shorter than what is normal for the F15. The extreme angle, flaps and airbrake were all helping to slow the F15 down real fast and he kept that angle for about 2,000 feet before setting the nose down.

Thank you everyone for looking
