I am still working my way thru the 748 images that I took at the air show Saturday. Here are a few that I managed to work up so far.

Great images. Sure turned out to be a good day. I just wish the Corsair made a better photo pass.

Thanks JB. I hear you about the photo pass. I wish more planes came in from the north so you could capture the front view without fighting the sun. I never expected to see the sun. We brought umbrellas in case of rain but used them for shade before the day was over.
Here are a few more images from Saturday.
P-38 and P-51 Formation. Anyone know if the boarding ladder is supposed to be stowed somewhere or does it alway flap around like this?

Another Corsair view.

More playing. The view in the side of the FedEx plane.

Nice shots...like the P-51 and P-38. The ladder is supposed to tuck forward into the fuselage, they may have forgotten or it came down during flight.
