The F16 is one of my favorites, I've always considered it the modern day P51; fast, maneuverable and deadly!

Great shots.
After seeing A-10 Cannon in your other shots, that f-16 20mm seems a bit wimpy...

Thanks All...

Seeing these aircraft used "in anger" really puts a different perspective on the skills necessary to fly and fight them as a weapon beyond the way most people see them as simply an air show performance.

Since you have video in the 1D IV, I would love to see some combat maneuvers in action. :)

So would I... ;)

I don't have the necessary accessories to shoot video well and especially not with the 500mm + 1.4X TC. Need a Wimberly and I'm hoping maybe Santa might drop one off later this year.

Amazing shots. Not very often you get to see airshow pics with some live fire action.
