Shot these yesterday, and edited some a little larger for another site, and then had to get to bed early for the WRC of today. So just resized them to 800px now.

The 757-200 was the highlight of the show. They had two on display, one parked in the 40 Squadron hangar, and one doing aerial displays.

Dummy landing downwind, before pulling up hard and full power. Incredible.

Very nice stuff!

Its a shame that is pretty much the full extent of our airforce, all thats missing are the Herc's, which I assume are all over seas.

And was this advertised?
I had no idea it was even on, and my new boss used to work there up untill a few weeks ago!

So long and thanks for all the flash

Great shots, I really like this one in particular, the closeness of the front rotor is a great effect

Cheers

I liked all the pictures. Very clean looking. The Ian has in his reply is one of the best.

Yes, it was advertised several times in the Herald near the movie section as it is every year. HEHE.
I think they could have drawn a much larger crowd if they advertised it better, and also DIDN'T put it on same weekend as WRC. I'm sure many of those motorsport fans as myself, are into aircraft as well.
800 pixel images, really don't do these justice. I edit most my shots at 1152x768 for airliners.net and that brings out a bit more detail, unseen in these shots. Such as registrations are easier to see.

Hercules? Just have to ask. I was trying to post all the 757 shots. I also have cockpit shots of a herc and 757... (They really would not be good quality at 800, so I've edited them for 1400px).

Nice photos.

The "800 by" format does hurt. I guess that means we need to get sites we can link to:-0 (I'm in the same boat)

I like the 757 dummy landing.

I had to come back for a second look. Okay, maybe the fifth or sixth look. My favorite is the Orion with the bay open. I don't know why but it really intrigues me.

You'd be surprised what airliners can do with no cargo, little fuel, and no people on board.

A Sigma 70-300mm lens... Not the quality of L, but still try my best in panning, and done thousands of aircraft shots already, and have a few on airliners.net

I saw a couple of guys with 100-400L, probably the next lens I would like within the next year. (One of them was probably joeseph here with D60).

<grin> who me? looking at your great shots, you were about 20m west of where I was...

some fairly old canon camera stuff, canon lenses, Manfrotto "thingy", and an M5, also an M6 that has had a 720nm filter bolted onto the sensor:

I kept moving back a bit, onto the paved area, as was being swarmed by the flying ants. I was covered by hundreds of them at one point. I'm surprised none went down my throat!

I was just looking through my shots again. A pity I didn't shoot some wideangle shots of the area was in. It's a typical thing I would do!

Did you see the two guys in black, with black bags, one with 20D+grip and 100-400L.. They were just to the East of me... Something you may have noticed, as it's a 100-400L also.

them flying insects were bizarre!
sorry didn't really notice anyone with a 100-400, remember seeing someone with what looked like a 70-200 and 1.4 TC though.
Also there was a woman photographer from the airforce, poor soul had to put up with n!kon gear.
Must say I miss the Skyhawks, now them's real airforce...
