Well I watched them practice the course Thursday for a while, and today was supposed to be time trials, but that got cancelled because all the pylons kept blowing off the platforms, and going down the river! (Pics to follow)

At least today an F18 (I think...) went by (air show style), and a classic Navy plane, and the red bull plane.

I apologize for the complete lack of sharpness, I have the worst 75-300 IS that was ever manufactured. (my 70-200 is 340km away right now)

Thurs:

Pylon blowing down the river and 4 boats chasing it! (It was shortly after this happening they decided to cancel for the day)

Nice shots, me and a few buddies are staying at the Marriott across the river on the 27th floor and have an excellent view of the quadro and red gate...really unfortunate that the quals were canceled but at least I got to relax in our room in the AC and watch a couple flyby's. Not sure how they are gonna run the race tomorrow without quals but the website says the show will go on, also looks like refund info for today will be up a bit later on the air race web site. Best of luck tomorrow.

Yeah bit of a disappointment with the cancellation but it was a great day anyway, tons of people.
