I wonder how much fuel was wasted to capture those shots with the price of fuel these days. A little L goes a long way.

No more so than someone driving one of those big V-8 powered SUVs. John

May 04, 2008 10:33 | #15 andrewhuxman wrote in post #5452279 Indeed I agree, and I also dont think the people watching that Jet truck felt that it was a waste either. My SUV is a 6 clyinder. As far as Shockley is concerned, I know the kids love it but I think it's an apalling waste of fuel that could be better utilized by the flying performers, especially those flying the older jets like the F-86 and Migs. _______________ John--Galleries--San Diego DSLR Photography Group "I'm never sitting in the last car again..." --Me My SUV is a 4 cyl... FlyingPhotog wrote in post #5453349 JW you "officially suck..."  What a great way to spend the day. Beautiful work sir!! Looks like it was a great day to fly too! How'd you manage the low pass over the Midway? San Diego ATC must have been in a really good mood. Well Done!! This was done in conjunction with the Red Bull Air Races taking place in San Diego this weekend, so everyone was very cooperative. spectre wrote in post #5453510 Was that Bill Allen's plane? (I do not even know if he has one now or not...) No, but he was in the flight. He now has two Stearmans, including one formerly owned by Steve McQueen. He just got it back after a full restoration. He was flying that one in a different portion of the flight. We had 10 planes up from a Stearman fly-in he's holding at his museum this weekend. andrewhuxman wrote in post #5454251 Those are very nice shots,lucky him to get the opportunity to do some air to air. I kinda felt the same thing when he was tearing my thread up a bit about the jet truck a few days back .Its not meant to be malicious or an attack on him. I am sorry if anyone is offended, not my intention. Andrew, point well taken... My preferences for antique aircraft over jet trucks is showing. Each has it's place. John
